Entering Reyneke's world is like embarking on a journey through South Africa's organic wine frontier. Located on the sun-drenched Polka Draai Hills, near Stellenbosch, Reyneke has always promoted a philosophy rooted in harmony with nature. Overlooking False Bay, their vineyards benefit from decomposed granite soils which naturally provide the wines with a unique elegance and profound depth. Under Johan's watchful eye, every grape is nurtured on the Reyneke farms, producing wines that are not only vegan and Demeter certified biodynamic, but also truly embody the Reyneke identity.
The Biodynamic Chenin Blanc stands as a testimony to Reyneke's unwavering quest for the holy grail of winemaking: creating a wine that reflects its terroir, climate nuances and cultivation method. With the oldest vineyards on the Reyneke farm dating back to the mid-1970s, and registered with South Africa's renowned Oud Wijnstok Project (OVP), the provenance of this wine is unmistakable.
Pour yourself a glass, and the sun-kissed hue hints at the fragrant journey that awaits. Breathe in, and the vibrant bouquet is reminiscent of yellow apples, bright lemons, juicy golden delicious and vineyard peaches. A playful whisper of orange blossom adds a touch of intrigue and brightness. Sip, and the palette unravels layers of lemon, quince, pear and that unique apple tonality - all harmoniously anchored by an invigorating acidity. The aftertaste? Oh, it's textured and lingers, echoing the brilliance of nature in every sip.
But what really sets this wine apart is the Reyneke way. Their vineyards are sanctuaries, free of herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. Organic is not just a buzzword here; it's a way of life. Instead of reaching for chemicals, Reyneke grows companion plants, champions at outcompeting weeds and enriching the soil, making every sip a tribute to the wonders of nature.
To enjoy this Chenin Blanc, combine it with dishes that reflect its lively character. Think of seafood, spicy lemon chicken or a fresh pear salad. Dive into a bottle, and taste the taste of nature here, refined by Reyneke's heritage. Natural solutions indeed make better wine. Obvious.
