Tasting Notes

The bouquet is highly expressive, opening with vibrant mulberry, white pepper, and aromatic hints of lavender and rosemary. The palate reveals juicy layers of red and blue fruits, framed by a gentle thread of coriander spice and savoury pepper. Beautifully balanced, the wine offers a supple texture and refined, persistent tannins that lead to a clean, fruit-pure finish.

Ageing Potential

While crafted for immediate enjoyment, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 2-3 years.

In The Vineyard

The Reyneke Organic Syrah was estate-grown on our Polkadraai Hills property in Stellenbosch.

About The Harvest

In The Cellar

Fermentation occurred spontaneously in a combination of concrete tanks and submerged cap stainless-steel fermenters. The wine was matured for 12 months in well-seasoned French oak barrels before the final blending and bottling.
