Reyneke Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2024
The Reyneke Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a precise and expressive style of the grape, showcasing purity of fruit and a distinctive sense of place. At the winery, the hand-harvested grapes were whole-bunch pressed and naturally settled. Fermentation occurred spontaneously in 300L oak barrels, followed by nine months of ageing on the lees in a combination of first, second and third-fill oak. The finest barrels were carefully selected for this bottling with the wine receiving its first SO₂ addition only after racking from barrel prior to bottling. To the nose the Reyneke Estate Sauvignon Blanc is layered with lime, kiwi, blackcurrant, elderflower and green papaya all underpinned by a flinty minerality. The palate is vibrant, with a tension between zesty acidity and a textured mid-palate. Fresh, focused and complex, this wine lingers with a long, saline finish.
