Reyneke Reserve White 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R405
‘A pair of warmer, south-facing, biodynamically farmed parcels are the source of this brilliant Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented in deftly handled 85% new wood, it's something of a thiol-driven style, showing quince and passion fruit flavours and top notes of wild flowers. Complex, nuanced, layered stuff. 2023-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100
'Aromas of blackcurrant leaf, fennel and lime are immediately apparent on the nose, along with distinct flinty notes. As the wine opens up, hints of white pear and macadamia nut aromas are found on the nose. This wine is well structured, with layers of floral and fruit notes, and a fine, balancing acidity. The wine lingers on your palate creating a lasting impression of finesse.' – Winemaker

| 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. |
