Product Notes

Reyneke Cornerstone wine is a marvellously crafted blend made in South Africa's Stellenbosch region. The exquisite bouquet offers elegant notes of blackcurrant, plum, and cherries, perfectly balanced with hints of spice - a reflection of its aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, this wine shines in its robust tannic structure, finely tuned acidity, and captivating flavours of dark fruit, grounded with earthy undertones. Reyneke Cornerstone lends depth and finesse to any meal, especially roasted red meats and sharp cheeses. It's a fitting salute to organic viticulture's potential in crafting wines that mix tradition and innovation for a noteworthy drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

This classical Bordeaux style blend combines freshness with real concentration, showcasing the best of Stellenbosch. Intense notes of blackcurrant, star anise, thyme with underlying dark fruit complete the nose of this blend. A core of dark fruit on the palate, combined with a good tannin structure and great complexity, makes this wine linger on the palate.
