Reyneke Cabernet Merlot 2020

Description

The nose has distinct mulberry, blackcurrant and cherry characters, along with cedarwood and spices. Layers of black fruit, cherries, spices and liquorice develop on the palate, making the wine very enjoyable. Well balanced & structured, with juicy sweet tannins, but a dry finish. It is smooth & ready to enjoy now.

The grapes were sourced from the best organic vineyards across the Western Cape, a third of the grapes coming directly from the estate. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot.

The grapes were sorted, destemmed and fermentation took place in a combination of concrete tanks and stainless-steel fermenters. 35% of the wine then spent 10 months in older oak barrels and foudré, after which the assemblage was made up and then bottled.

Reyneke Wines

Back when the Reyneke farm first began as ‘Uitzicht’ in1863, there were no chemicals or technological advancements. Just the land and nature. Reyneke continue with these principles with their biodynamic winemaking practices. Overlooking Stellenbosch and False bay, the best sites are planted with vines and the rest of the Reyneke land is pasture and pockets of wilderness. The Reyneke farm is independently certified, which honestly and transparently says that they are practicing what they preach.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch, located in South Africa’s Western Cape, is one of the country’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its premium wines and prestigious vineyards. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, perfect for cultivating high-quality grapes.
The area is particularly known for its robust reds, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which exhibit deep fruit flavours and complex, well-structured profiles. The whites, such as Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, are noted for their crisp acidity and vibrant fruit character.
Historically, Stellenbosch is significant as it was one of the first areas settled by Dutch colonists in the late 17th century. The wine industry in Stellenbosch began to develop in the 19th century, and today, it remains a cornerstone of South Africa’s wine heritage, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation to produce exceptional wines.
