STEENBERG SAUVIGNON BLANC / SEMILLON RESERVE 2018

R195.00 VAT

Wine Club price R165.75 p/b

Our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon shows flavours of fresh persimmon, honey and white stone fruit. The focus on the palate is ground spice and fruit richness tempered by a light acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. It is subtle and develops in the glass and shows beautifully now, but will gain complexity with cellaring. The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon with its freshness and fullness is a veritable food wine and pairs beautifully with crayfish, duck and salmon tartare.

  • STEENBERG BARREL FERMENTED SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022

    Wine Club price R148.75 p/b

    Previously known as Rattlesnake Sauvignon Blanc.

    Both terroir and treatment are immediately evident in the glass. A resonance of dill, capers, greengage, and wet granite marry on both the nose and palate. Acidity and spice form the backbone, dominating on the palate, while a pithy yet creamy texture rounds out the overall mouthfeel. The textured, juicy palate shows citrus zest, vanilla and apricot. A lingering herbaceous and mineral finish completes the experience. This wine will be enhanced by a food pairing such as shellfish, or a Thai curry accented by ginger and lemongrass. Drink now, but wait five to seven years for a truly evolved experience.

  • STEENBERG SEMILLON 2022

    Wine Club price R221.00 p/b

    Our 2022 Semillon is a beautiful pale gold colour. Aromas of apricot, cinnamon, dried pear and orange blossom greet you upon first inspection. There are also nectarine, dusty road and golden delicious notes. The palate shares much the same fruit profile as the nose though now with distinct custard and vanilla pod characteristics. Poised, weighted fruit concentrates the mid-palate, after which the wine broadens out with a rich, almost waxy texture and bright acidity. A citrus and floral spice lingers on the palate long after the last drop. This Semillon will continue to evolve in complexity and richness with age.

  • STEENBERG CHARDONNAY 2022

    Wine Club price R148.75 p/b

    Your same favourite wine with a fresh new look! We have released the new packaging of Steenberg Chardonnay (previously Steenberg Sphynx Chardonnay) featuring an elegant, contemporary aesthetic.

    Our 2022 Chardonnay shows upfront and intense aromas of raw honey, fresh Golden Delicious apple, butterscotch and shortbread on the nose. Subtle vanilla oak spice is carried through from the nose to the palate where it meets flavours of persimmon and cinnamon stick. It is complemented by a bright, clean structure and long finish, which in turn is tempered by a lifting acidity and chalky minerality.

    The wine is ready to enjoy now but will reward patience and age gracefully for the next 2- 5 years.

  • STEENBERG THE BLACK SWAN SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022

    Wine Club price R221.00 p/b

    The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a pure expression of the Steenberg terroir and shows notes of nasturtium, sugar-snap pea, fresh asparagus and capsicum on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh lemon and subtle hints of dried apricot and mange tout. A mouth-watering acidity accompanies a full and long finish achieved with extended lees contact in tank. This is a wonderful food wine and will reward cellaring of between 10 – 20 years.
