Donkiesbaai6x Steen 2025

About

Far up the west coast, north of Lambertsbay but south of Doringbaai lies an open bay of white sand strewn with black mussels and kelp, with the icy waters of the Atlantic beating the shore. This is Donkiesbaai, where the Engelbrecht family has holidayed for four generations. The wine was made with the cuisine of the west coast in mind. Crayfish, Harders, and a cold glass of wine are part of the history that is Donkiesbaai. 

Product Features

• Our Steen is made up of three components: 75% is fermented in French oak then matured in a combination of new and seasoned 500l barrels, 25% is fermented spontaneously and matured on the lees in concrete eggs.
• Bold, fruity aromas of pineapple, lime cordial, and yellow peach mingle with notes of biscotti and nougat. 
• Rich and textured on the palate with elderflower, peach and macadamia. 
• The intensity of the fruit is balanced by well-integrated oak. 
• The distinctive complexity of the Donkiesbaai Steen stems from the age of the bush vines, the majority of which are over 38 years old. 
• These old vines consistently produce small crops of intensely flavoured and expressive fruit.
• Enjoy with various shellfish dishes.
