Reenen Borman

Today

Since 2012, Reenen Borman has worked as winemaker at Boschkloof Wines in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The brief is Syrah, handled with a minimal-intervention, site-expressive approach; as Borman puts it, the work centers on “small-batch, site-specific wines that reflect the soils they grow in.”

Signature

The Syrah bottlings associated with Reenen Borman include Boschkloof Epilogue Syrah 2022, Boschkloof Syrah 2024, and Sons of Sugarland Syrah. The line tells you where the focus sits: Syrah, presented across different cuvées rather than a broad portfolio.

In Their Words “We are best known for our Syrah, led by our Epilogue, a wine awarded a perfect 100 points by Tim Atkin MW, and for family roots going back to 1996.”

Recognition

That line from Borman frames the measure of the work: Syrah at the center, Epilogue as the reference point, and a perfect 100 points from Tim Atkin MW attached to that wine. The family roots cited here go back to 1996.
