Winemaking Notes This wine is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot from selected vineyards around the Stellenbosch region. The grapes are hand-picked at a ripeness to express purity of fruit and freshness. Fermentation takes place in wooden open top fermenters without the inoculation of yeast and lasts for up to 3 weeks. After fermentation the wines are pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation after which they are racked and returned to barrel for further maturation for up to 18 months. No new wood is used so as to retain the freshness and purity inherent in the grapes. The wine was blended and bottled in January 2018. 4200 bottles were produced Tasting Notes This wine has a stunning garnet colour with a bright ruby red rim. The nose has an abundance of dark briary fruits with hints of tobacco spice and cassis. The palate is full and rich with cassis and blackberry fruits. The mid-palate is rich and textured leading to a dry savoury finish.

Reyneke Reserve White 2017

Winemakers Notes

The 2017 Reserve White is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes come from specially selected sites within our Sauvignon blanc vineyards. We hand sort bunches, ensuring only the best fruit is used for this wine, after which they are whole bunch pressed. The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation in 300l French oak casks,

95% being new oak and 5% second fill. The wine is aged for 12 months in new French Barrique on the gross lees. Thereafter it is racked into stainless steel tank
to age for a further 4 months prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

Layers of granny smith apple, quince, lime peel and a distinctive flintiness gives this wine a fresh and vibrant nose. The palate is structured and well balanced with great acidity. At the same time it is complex and layered with fruit and some floral notes which provide good texture and a lingering finish.

An elegant wine which would be best rewarded with drinking from 2019 until 2027.

Reyneke Capstone 2015

Winemakers Notes

The Cornerstone has always been an important wine within the Reyneke range, with the proceeds of the wine helping the farm workers and their families. The workers being the cornerstone of the business. The components consist of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 27% Cabernet Franc. An intense sorting process of bunch selection and berry selection ensures that the best fruit from our Biodynamic vineyards are selected. Fermentation takes place in concrete Nomblot fermentors. The wine spends

18 months in French oak barrels, 30% new and 70% second and third-fill. An additional 4months in tank, after barrel selection and then left in bottle to mature before being released.

Tasting Notes

This classical Bordeaux style blend combines freshness with a real intense concentration showcasing the best of Stellenbosch. The wine presents with perfume, cassis, dark fruit and spicy nuances. Undertones of tobacco leaf and blackcurrant are what ads more to a defined graphite minerality. This wine has a lovely balance, with structured tannins, which are linear and focused.

The Cornerstone 2015 has an ageing potential of 7 to 10 years.

Sauvignon blanc 2019 – Wine of Origin Groenekloof

The grapes hail from the old Versfeld family farm is the prestigious Groenekloof ward in Darling, where many esteemed wine producers source their grapes, especially Sauvignon Blanc, from.

The vineyards are all Western to South West facing, making the aspect perfect for growing grapes. The Bush Vines and trellised grapes are planted on decomposed granite soils, and age between 16 and 20 years old, producing low yields and concentrated favours. 

Fig Leaf, white peach, gooseberry and lime on the nose. Citrus zest and gooseberry follows through on the palate, along with subtle guava and light tropical notes. Fresh acidity and well-rounded mouthfeel.

The penguin pays homage to a dear friend and colleague that introduced the owners, as well as the Atlantic Ocean that provide the optimal conditions for the area where the grapes are grown and vinified.

Quick Overview

Our flagship blend consists of the “three hearts” of the Estate: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

We were one of the first Cape farms to use small, new French oak barrels for the maturation of red wines. We produced South Africa’s first Bordeaux blend, our beloved Tria Corda, in 1979. And in the early 80s we were the first South African estate to bottle a single-varietal Merlot (an unusual endeavour at the time). We like to think that these accomplishments weren’t just for our own satisfaction, but made a significant impact on the country’s wine industry.

Quick Overview

ORIGIN

This Piekenierskloof Chardonnay was harvested at 22.5 balling and fermented in oak and stainless steel. The wine was then aged for eight months, with the slightest intervention from the winemaker. Only 25% new oak and the rest in neutral oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks to retain fruit freshness. The wine was then minimally filtered and fined, and bottled in late January 2017.

TASTING NOTES

Chardonnay is my favourite varietal as it is so variable in its many characteristics. My CLUSTER Series is more refined. The nose on this wine shows some lime and green apple. The rich, round entry is full of fruit, including hints of tropical pineapple and guava, while the finish lingers with subtle nuttiness from the oak. This wine can be enjoyed now or will keep well for 5 to 8 years.

Quick Overview

ORIGIN

This Cabernet Sauvignon originates from Stellenbosch grapes.

TASTING NOTES

Some of the best Cabernets find their origins in Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch being cooler giving the wine body and fuller tannins.  This wine has a lovely violet colour, on the nose there is lovely primary red fruits like blue berries and blackberry with a hint of anise. The pallet is clean and elegant with dark chocolate and cherry fruits. The tannins on the finish are very soft making you think the wine is older than a 2018. This wine can be enjoyed now and will age very well for the next 5 to 8 years.
