ABOUT THIS WINE
The Reyneke Organic Chenin Blanc is a single-varietal wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa, produced by Reyneke Winery. The estate is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming, with owner and winemaker Johan Reyneke converting the farm to these principles in the late 1990s. The winery was the first in South Africa to achieve Demeter International certification. The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards situated within 40km of the Atlantic Ocean, grown in sandy and decomposed granitic soils, which are noted as contributing factors to the wine's character. The wine is certified vegan.
