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
Aromas of lime, fennel and elderflower are immediately apparent on the nose, accompanied by distinct flinty notes and hints of blackcurrant & lemon zest. This wine is well structured, with the fruit flavours of lemon and granny smith apple balanced by a fine acidity and some oak complexity. The wine lingers on your palate creating a lasting impression of finesse.
