The 2020 Reyneke Cornerstone is a flagship biodynamic red blend from Stellenbosch, crafted primarily from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It represents the estate’s commitment to organic farming and terroir expression, combining New World richness with Old World structure and restraint. The nose is intense and layered, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, with notes of tea leaf, tobacco, sandalwood and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, delivering a dense core of dark fruit supported by fine, velvety tannins and a graphite-like minerality. The wine shows excellent balance and freshness, leading to a long, complex and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a premium Bordeaux-style blend and one of South Africa’s standout organic wines. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy structured reds like Left Bank Bordeaux or Cabernet blends but want something more modern and terroir-driven. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with steak, lamb, game or rich dishes.
