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.

Tasting note: On the nose, the wine presents intense aromas of black currant, blackberries, tea leaf, wet tobacco and sandalwood. The palate is complex and layered, showcasing pure blackberry and black cherry fruit, with a graphite core and hints of cigar box. The wine is supported by lovely velvety tannins, a beautiful balance, and bright acidity, ensuring a lingering finish and impressive aging potential.
