WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Reyneke Biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is produced from hand-picked grapes. Following de-stemming and pressing, the must undergoes cold settling before spontaneous fermentation in seasoned French oak barrels. The wine is then aged for eight months on its gross lees. A small addition of sulfur is made prior to bottling. The winery's approach is guided by biodynamic and organic principles, emphasizing minimal intervention throughout the process.
