Type: Red Wine
Country: South Africa
Region: Western Cape
Code: REYN005
The wine shows an elegant bouquet of perfumed red forest berry fruit, with subtle hints of spicy clove. This is a wine with a soft tannin structure with a palate which demonstrates both length and complexity with a spicy, savoury subtle fruit finish. Further bottle maturation will allow for further integration and evolution of the wine. Ready to drink now, but has an ageing potential of 10 – 12 years.

Reyneke Wines

Established in 1998 Stellenbosch, Reyneke Estate is one of South Africa's very few certified Biodynamic wine farms. Winemaker and founder, Johan Reyneke Jr has become somewhat of an authority on the subject. Herbicide, pesticide and fungicide free, coupled with no artificial additives in the cellar has meant that this non-intervention approach has created wines which are true to their origin and character.
