'This brilliant, barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc comes from the top part of the Willow Spring parcel and is the latest in a line of brilliant releases under this label. Saline, pithy and flinty with hints of nettle and elderflower, fine oak and a finish that goes on forever. Drink 2019-2027.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100.
'From 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Winemaking involves spontaneous fermentation before maturation lasting 12 months in 300-litre barrels, 95% new. Lemon and some smoky reduction feature predominantly on the nose but there are also notes of white peach, blackcurrant and herbs. The palate shows dense fruit matched by arresting acidity, the finish long and pithy (alcohol is 12.18%). Currently quite stern, this should benefit from a year or two in bottle.' – Christian Eedes, WineMag.co.za, 93/100.

| Producer information | Reyneke is one of 5 Stellenbosch properties to get First Growth status in Tim Atkin's 2017 SA Report. Reyneke farm began in 1863 when it was then named 'Uitzicht', meaning 'view'. It is located overlooking Stellenbosch and False Bay with north, south and east facing slopes. Reyneke is certified organic and biodynamic and follows sustainable practices in everything they do. 'Their wines demonstrate the care they take, not infallible wines, rather honest and personality-driven wines that are distinctive, as much cerebral as sensory experiences,' says Neal Martin. |
