Reyneke Cornerstone 2018

At Reyneke they believe that the workers are the cornerstone of the business, which is an integral part of the holistic and biodynamic principles, that Reyneke follows. As such, the Cornerstone is an important wine within their range with the proceeds going toward education and housing projects, that improve their lives directly. The components of the 2017 vintage are made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Cabernet Franc and Merlot (14%). An intense sorting process of bunch and berry selection ensures that only the best fruit end up in the Nomblot concrete fermentation tanks. The wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 30% are new and 70% second and third-fill barriques. 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.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
