Reyneke Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

The nose presents blackberry and black cherry aromas, followed by spicy notes and eventually opening up with darker undertones of cedar wood and black pepper. The palate is complex and layered with dark fruit and a fresh acidity on the mid palate. There is a clear graphite line, typical of the farms’ terroir, which runs through the wine. The wine is concentrated with juicy tannins and a seamless, everlasting finish.

ageing : The 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has an ageing potential of 10 years and more, if stored in the correct cellaring conditions.
in the cellar : The grapes come from a south eastern facing block on the farm, which go through meticulous bunch and berry sorting, to ensure only the perfect berries go into the tank. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in concrete tanks, after which the free run wine goes into new 225L French barrels to age for 24 months. No addition of any sort are made to this wine, except SO2. The aim is to showcase the purity of the site and vintage. This wine is a great representation of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2017 vintage is a selection of the six best barrels.
