    Tasting Notes

    Reyneke was the first farm in South Africa to achieve certification by Demeter International, the largest, and arguably, the most widely acknowledged biodynamic accreditation body in the world. This Chenin Blanc has an upfront floral and white peach notes, with hints of pear and grapefruit on the nose. Notes of honey and melon start to become more apparent later on, in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with an almost saline feel on the tongue. The finish is long, well balanced and rounded.

    Viticulture:The Chenin blanc grapes are sourced from beautiful organic vineyards situated no further than 40km inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The vines are planted in sandy and decomposed granitic soils, and these granitic soils add to the flavour profile of the grapes and final wine.

    Reyneke

    The Reyneke family established their farm in 1863. The farm's name aptly describes its breathtaking surroundings: majestic mountains to the northeast, the famous False Bay surfer's paradise to the south, and the iconic city of Cape Town to the west. Johan Reyneke, the current steward of the estate, shares a unique bond with False Bay. Had it not been for his deep-seated passion for gradually transforming his parents' farm into a biodynamic model, he might have pursued a career as a professional surfer. The journey towards biodynamic farming has been a labor of love and the celestial forces of the sun, moon, and stars. The acclaimed Cornerstone wines are part of a meaningful initiative. Not only do they offer exceptional taste, but they also contribute to a noble cause. The proceeds from these wines support the construction of homes for the workers and the education of their children, underscoring Uitzicht's commitment to both quality and community.
