STEENBERG SYRAH 2016
p/b R200.00
Wine Club price R170.00 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.

The Black Swan 2018 shows notes of lime, gooseberry, ruby grapefruit and fynbos on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with blackcurrant, lemon zest, passion fruit, yellow apple and fresh fig leaves. A mouth-watering acidity accompanies the full, medium-weighted palate, achieved with extended lees contact in tank. This is a great food wine and will reward cellaring of between 10 – 20 years.

The 2019 Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc enchants with aromas of fresh lime zest, elderflower blossom, freshly cut grass and sweet bell pepper, while maintaining its distinctive core minerality derived from the Steenberg terroir. This cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc has an arresting and lively acidity which keeps it vibrant and fresh on the palate with cape gooseberry and green melon flavours. All the elements of this wine will enable it to bottle age well over the next 2-5 years.

p/b R185.00Wine Club price R157.25 p/b
Our 2016 Merlot is an excellent expression of the cultivar: rich with juicy red fruit and characteristic herbal highlights of lavender, fennel and anise with a lively eucalyptus edge. The nose offers cherry and redcurrant, while the palate reveals sour cherry, dark chocolate and spicy clove. Velvety texture is enhanced by refreshing acidity, while well-integrated tannins add structure. This fuller-bodied wine will stand up to rich dishes with strong Mediterranean flavours, such as braised and roast meats, tomato-based stews, mature cheeses and briny olives. Will bottle age well for five to seven years after bottling.
