Reyneke Biodynamic Syrah 2020
R307,00
A perfumed nose with upfront white pepper, lavender, cherries, oreganum and other red fruit and undertones of pimento spice. The palate is elegant and balanced, with an underlying structure and a long finish. The dried herb and red fruit aromatics are elevated by the distinguished chalky tannins of this wine, which continue to evolve as the wine opens up. Truly a wine to savour and with a few years ageing potential.
