🥂 Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

• The Profile: Opens with fresh, inviting aromas of crisp yellow apples, white peach, and wild honeysuckle, leading into a bright, fruit-driven palate of juicy pear and a refreshing, clean, mineral-tinged finish.
• Classic Pairings: Complements grilled sea bass with lemon, pan-seared scallops, creamy goat's cheese salads, or a fragrant butternut squash tagine.
• 🇮🇪 Everyday Irish Pairings: Pair it with a classic chipper Fish & Chips; the wine’s vibrant citrus acidity cuts cleanly through the rich, oily batter and refreshes your palate. It is also sublime alongside a gourmet ham and mature cheddar Toastie, where the crisp green apple notes slice through the rich, melted cheese and salty ham for a perfectly balanced bite.

🌿 Why We Love This Producer

Today, Reyneke is celebrated globally as a true pioneer of natural, hands-off winemaking, proving that elite quality comes from working with nature, not against it.

"A good vineyard isn't made of chemicals; it's a living ecosystem where the soil, vines, and elements speak for themselves in every bottle." — Johan Reyneke
