"The 2010 Pinotage is 50% whole bunch pressed with a carbonic maceration from the top part of the vat, with no pump-overs and matured in Nomblot concrete fermenters. It has a fragrant bouquet of dark plum, violet and cherry liqueur. The palate is well balanced with good tension and is fresh and natural towards the wild berry, plum and licorice finish. It has superb tension and vivacity. If only Pinotages were like this! Drink now-2018.

I was struck by Rudiger Gretschel, winemaker for Reyneke, located in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. He expressed a very European outlook to winemaking and at times, contrary views to his fellow South African winemakers. As the country's only certified biodynamic producer he seemed to have a unique take on viticulture and as it transpired, Reyneke's wines are cerebral and intellectual, surfeit in character and individuality"
