95 points,"A wine that takes its inspiration from Pouilly-Fumé, according to Rudiger Gretschel, this varietal Sauvignon Blanc is remarkably chiselled and pithy, with gooseberry and elderflower flavours, subtle wood, granitic minerality and leesy texture and complexity."- Tim Atkin MW 93 points,"The 2020 Biodynamic Reserve White is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from selected parcels, all whole bunch pressed, naturally settled with around 85% new oak (300-litre) barrels for around 10 months. It has an intense bouquet with Granny Smiths, Nashi pear and a touch of limestone, the oak discretely embroidered. The palate is well balanced with a little more weight than the regular Sauvignon Blanc, a fine line of acidity and nerve towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Superb."- Antonio Galloni's Vinous The biodynamic Reserve White is a made from 100% whole-bunch-pressed Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented and aged on the lees in French oak barrel for almost a year, it's a beguiling riot of pear, grapefruit, quince, elderflower, flint, gooseberry, orange blossom, Granny Smith apple, fennel, macadamia and chamomile. This is not your average Sauvignon Blanc; it's a very innovative piece of winemaking. The Reyneke farm began its life in 1863 with no chemicals or technology, just hard graft and nature's bounty. Although it may have strayed from this path a little, now it's going back to where it all began. Following biodynamic methods, they recycle or reuse everything they possibly can, including office paper, which is shredded and fed into their earthworm farm. They use no herbicides, pesticides or fungicides, choosing to deal with weeds by planting other plants that control them, and letting ducks eat the pesky bugs. And finally, they run a project called Cornerstone, where profits are fed back into their workers and their families. So far this given four of the families that work on the vineyard their own home and is funding one of their children through further education. So, this is very much a wine with principles.£4.13 per 100.00ml
