Reyneke
Organic Sauvignon Blanc
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
The nose reveals; brighter fruits than the organic blend...more grassy notes although they are not heavy. It’s creamier. Oak notes from used barrels. Beautifully soft. Round, ripe, fruits; green apple, lime, lemon, grapefruit, white peach and ripe green melon. Light creamed buttery notes, chalk, gentle minerality, yellow lilies and spring flowers.
The body is light and flows gently on the palate until some white spice and minerality come on as it sets. Ripe, fruits; green apple, lime, lemon, grapefruit, white peach, ripe green melon, light creamed buttery notes, just a slight touch of green bean, thyme, white spice, powdery chalk, gentle minerality, yellow lilies and spring flowers. Amazing acidity with a delicate finish that is well balanced and persists sneakily for minutes.
Photos of; the entrance to Reyneke, blocks of letters that spell out their name on their tasting room mantle and the mountain view from their property.

Johan Reyneke as been perfecting his skills along the years, mastering top South African wines, Biodynamic farming , a very skilled man that knows how to listen to nature - Sourced from a small vineyard - bring a wine with great texture, well evolved, mineral notes with citrus fruit, and refreshing acidity 😉

16.5/20 (91/100) Фруктовый аромат с нотами яблок, засахаренного лимона и дыни, нет овощей. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и насыщенное во вкусе. Нежное и, одновременно, мускулистое.

Finally more the old world style of Sauvignon Blanc, not to much fruit and nice acidity
