WINE DESCRIPTION

Reyneke Syrah is a captivating red wine that beautifully expresses the characteristics of the Syrah grape. The wine was spontaneously fermented, with a portion of crushed whole bunch, in a combination of open-top concrete fermenters and submerged cap fermenters. Maturation took place in seasoned oak barrels and 2500L foudres for 12 months. Bottle ageing of nine months occurs before the final product is released. With its distinct style, Reyneke Syrah offers a harmonious balance of flavors and aromas. Its velvety texture, rich dark fruit notes, and subtle hints of spice make it a delightful choice for wine enthusiasts seeking a refined and elegant red wine experience.

The Reyneke Syrah exhibits a medium to full body, with well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth and velvety texture. Its vibrant acidity adds freshness and liveliness to the wine, enhancing its overall structure. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of dark fruits and subtle spice. This wine is a great companion to a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, barbecues, and hearty stews.
