The Reyneke Biodynamic Reserve Red pampers the senses with a fragrant bouquet of fragrant aromas of blackcurrant, ripe cherries, white pepper and thyme. On the palate, this highly endowed reserve wine made from 100% Syrah presents itself immensely intense and with a multi-layered and multi-faceted taste profile. Nuances of herbaceous fynbos, fine spices, black cherries and pepper complement each other wonderfully and provide delicious pleasure. A fresh, elegant and incredibly finesse-rich wine of remarkable complexity and depth.

The 2016 vintage of Reyneke's biodynamic Reserve Red is made from 100% Syrah grapes. 35% of the selected grape material fermented all over the bunch and was crushed in large concrete fermenters using the traditional method with bare leg strength. The remaining part of the grapes was completely destemmed and fermented in a naturally spontaneous way. Spontaneous means here that no commercial yeast cultures were added to the must and only the yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit started the fermentation process. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed into second filled French oak barriques, where the malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine matured for 20 months in barriques.
