Wine Club price R162.35 p/b
Our gracious Steenberg Syrah’s full red colour is a sign of the flavours and aromas that await you in the glass. Violet, nutmeg, boysenberry, and cherry sherbet on the nose transform into a medium-bodied, delicate black fruit and spice driven wine with soft, fine tannins, integrated acidity and a silky texture. The ideal partner to fillet au poivre – in fact all red meats grilled over open flames.

In The Cellar
Our Syrah grapes were picked in 4 batches and fermented separately. They were crushed and de-stemmed before a 5 day cold soak pre-ferment, followed by 15 days fermentation. The wine underwent 2 gentle pump overs per day. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine spent a total of 15 months in large (500l) French oak barrels: 13% new oak, 26% 2nd fill 10% 3rd fill and 51% 4th fill. The wine was racked out of barrel and received a light fining before bottling in November 2017.

p/b R499.00Wine Club Price R424.15 p/b
Our 2013 Lady R has a pale copper hue. Aromatically, this wine shows hints of apple blossom, honeysuckle, raspberry, almond puff pastry, citrus biscuits and savoury dried herbs. The creaminess
on the palate is complemented by the subtle and refreshing acidity of the wine. There’s a salinity
that carries through on the palate alongside restrained oak spiciness. Lady R’s effervescence shows
finesse with elegantly fine bubbles that contribute to the overall texture of the wine. It is seriously
structured and shows elegance and beautiful ageing ability.Pinot Noir – 70%
