Reyneke
Biodynamic Winemaking. The future lies right at the beginning. There's a lot to be said for the way wine used to be made. Back when the Reyneke farm first began as ‘Uitzicht’ in1863 there were no chemicals or technological advancements. Just the land and nature. Uitzicht (which is the Dutch for ‘View’) is perched overlooking Stellenbosch and False Bay. It has north east and south facing slopes. The best land is planted with vines and the remainder complements the vineyards with pasture compost-making and pockets of wilderness. It’s the kind of balance that’s far more important than ensuring the spreadsheets all balance out. And it’s the true time-honoured tradition of winemaking.
Description
The Reyneke Biodynamic Chenin Blanc 2023 presents a vibrant and expressive profile. On the nose, it offers aromas of quince, white pear, and lemon, complemented by subtle honeysuckle notes. The palate is layered with flavors of lemon, quince, pear, and apple pith, balanced by a lively acidity that gives the wine freshness and vibrancy. The finish is textured, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with seafood, particularly shellfish, and dishes featuring citrus or herbal elements. Its bright acidity also makes it a good match for creamy cheeses and light poultry dishes.
