Review Reyneke has been one of the Cape’s leading proponents of biodynamics with minimal intervention or sulphur addition. I have been a huge fan of these wines since first encountering them several years ago. . . I noticed how many of these wines, especially the reds, really blossomed with aeration. Do not be afraid to reach for the carafe. Biodynamic aside, there is clever use of foudres at Reyneke so, on the face of it, you achieve a “natural wine” since there is minimal or sometimes no SO2 usage. I can vouchsafe the quality of these wines that are complex and thought-provoking, magically manifesting great fruit intensity when allowed an hour’s or so decanting. -From Some Great Reward: South Africa (Aug 2018) by Neal Martin
Producer The Reyneke label was created in 1998 when Johan Reyneke Jr. took over the farming activities from his mother and produced the first wines on the family farm, Uitzicht. The 40ha farm faces the historic town of Stellenbosch and overlooks the surrounding mountain ranges and the beautiful False Bay. Since inception, Johan has moved from farming conventionally to farming organically and finally to farming and producing his wines in accordance with biodynamic principles. He is currently one of only a few winemakers in SA who produce biodynamic wines and is considered somewhat of a ground- breaker in this regard. The aim for Reyneke has always been to express the uniqueness of the farm’s situation – the deep soil dotted with early stone age hand axes; the vines- some 40 years old; the crisp upland air – into the bottle. Reyneke believes that it is impossible to sense terroir if you are constantly changing it with chemicals. ”The intention here is to interfere as little as possible, to allow nature to be the real maker of the wine and to truly produce terroir specific wines of the highest quality. ”
