Tasting Notes
The Reyneke Biodynamic Syrah 2021 presents a perfumed nose with upfront sour cherry and mulberry fruit, accented by notes of white pepper, allspice, and hints of marjoram. There is a lovely brightness to the palate with a core of pure red cherry, balanced by white pepper spice and supple tannins. The wine finishes with some licorice complexity, offering an underlying structure and a long finish.
About The Harvest
Syrah grapes were handpicked and cooled overnight in a cold room.
In The Cellar
Some batches were fermented in open top concrete tanks and others were fermented under submerged cap. All batches were fermented with 30% crushed whole bunch. Fermentation occurred spontaneously. The wine was drained and pressed off the skins as soon as fermentation was completed. The wine was aged in a combination of foudré & seasoned 225L & 300L French oak for 12 months.
