Reyneke Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a vineyard south-east of Polkadraai Hills, on granite soil rich in stone. The grapes are harvested by hand at night, and after vinification the wine rests in casks for 20 months. Only the best casks are selected, and their contents rest for a further two years in bottle before release. Production takes place only in the best vintages. It is intense and structured, with present but integrated tannin and lively acidity. It pairs with red meat dishes and medium to long-aged cheeses. On the nose there are blackcurrant, sour cherry, dark fruits, graphite, tea leaves, spicy and mineral notes; on the palate it is intense and structured, with present but integrated tannin and lively acidity.
