Reyneke Syrah, Polkadraai Hills 2023
Red Wine from South Africa - Coastal Region
Reyneke’s 2023 syrah is precision personified, with pure redcurrant, blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate, fine dusty tannins, life-affirming acidity, and intense cracked pepper spice. Cellar it to unlock the briny, peppery, black olive complexity. Certified biodynamic with Demeter and organic with Ecocert, and for working to reduce their carbon footprint, Reyneke’s efforts to be as sustainable as possible make them a shoo-in as a Wine Society Pioneer. Water conservation is a big issue here in drought hit South Africa and Reyneke use only drip irrigation, mostly from run-off dams and only when necessary while measuring its use so they know that they use 50% less than when they farmed conventionally. New vineyards are being designed to capture and use water with maximum efficiency. The introduction of a bio-reactor means that water and other waste has a second use on the farm in compost building and for the cows to drink after independent monitoring. Finally, when bottled the labels are made from agricultural pulp.

Dark blackish garnet. Very salty Syrah with engaging ripeness. A wine full of intent and pleasure. Flatters the palate but still has quite a way to go. JancisRobinson.com
