Reyneke Cornerstone White Stellenbosch 2025 75cl

Reyneke Cornerstone White Stellenbosch

From the Polkadraai Hills in South Africa's Stellenbosch region, this white brings together Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin Blanc. Hand-harvested biodynamic grapes are whole-bunch pressed and naturally fermented in older oak barrels, then aged on the lees for eight months. The result is a fresh, textured wine with citrus, orchard fruit and delicate herbal spice, made with a strong commitment to sustainable farming.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Bright, pale straw yellow.
• Nose: Lime, white peach and elderflower, followed by gentle hay and cardamom notes.
• Palate: Crisp Granny Smith apple and citrus flavours, balanced by lively acidity and a soft, rounded mouthfeel.
• Finish: Clean and persistent, with refreshing citrus and subtle savoury nuances.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this white wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Grilled sea bass with lemon, capers and fresh herbs is a brilliant match because the vibrant lime character mirrors the citrus in the dish. The freshness cuts through the richness of the fish, while the subtle texture from the Semillon adds extra depth.

Goat's cheese tart with caramelised onions and thyme offers a rewarding vegetarian pairing. The acidity balances the creamy cheese beautifully, while the wine's floral and orchard fruit notes complement the sweetness of the onions. Serve as a light lunch or starter.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Reyneke Wines

Based on the historic Uitzicht farm in Stellenbosch, Reyneke Wines has developed into one of South Africa's recognised organic and biodynamic producers. The farm dates to 1863 and became the Reyneke family's home in 1988. Johan Reyneke established the wine label in 1998 after taking responsibility for the vineyards, drawing on his environmental studies to build a farming system that works with natural processes. The estate went on to achieve international biodynamic certification, helping establish its reputation as a leader in sustainable South African winemaking.

Located on the Polkadraai Hills above Stellenbosch, the property overlooks False Bay and has north-, east- and south-facing slopes, with granitic soils and varied vineyard conditions. The range includes Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, alongside red varieties such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Vineyard management emphasises organic and biodynamic practices, composting, biodiversity and reducing reliance on external inputs. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation and the measured use of older French oak, larger oak vessels and concrete help retain the natural fruit and structure of the grapes. The estate produces organic, biodynamic and limited Reserve wines, with selected Reserve bottlings made only in exceptional vintages.
