Wine Club price R212.50 p/b
Our 2020 Semillon is a beautiful pale gold colour. Aromas of apricot, cardamom and orange blossom greet you upon first inspection. Quince, hay bale and roasted almond complete the sensation on the palate. 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.

In The Cellar
After a very long and cool ripening season our Semillon was harvested at the end of February 2020 at an average of 24.5°B for a fuller, more rounded wine. The grapes were crushed and de-stemmed with no prolonged skin contact.
The clean juice was racked after settling in stainless steel tanks overnight. Fermentation took place in a variety of large format French oak barrels, after which the wine spent a further 2 months on the gross lees. Post-fermentation, the wine spent a further 10 months in a combination of 35% new, 28% second, 37% third and fourth fill French oak barrels before being racked into a stainless steel tank, where it was lightly fined and stabilised before bottling in mid-February 2020.

STEENBERG CHARDONNAY 2021
R175.00 VATWine 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 2021 Chardonnay shows upfront and intense aromas of citrus marmalade, 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 quince and candied apple. 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 2021
R250.00 VATWine Club price R212.50 p/b
The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is a pure expression of the Steenberg terroir and shows notes of lime zest, white blossom, elderflower and persimmon on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh grapefruit and subtle hints of nectarine 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.
