SteenbergSauvignon Blanc Trio Pack

About

The Cape’s first farm, established in 1682, has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Just 20 minutes from the bustling heart of the Mother City, Steenberg feels miles from the world. Graham Beck bought Steenberg Hotel and Steenberg Winery in April 2005. Steenberg Hotel has since flourished into a complete luxury destination, with two fine restaurants, an award-winning winery, a championship 18-hole golf course, illustrious private homes and a world-class spa set amongst the estate’s astounding natural landscape.

Product Features

The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2023

• Blend of the top two Sauvignon Blanc vineyards on Steenberg, and is a selection of the best fruit from the vintage.
• The grapes were crushed /de-stemmed and left on the skins for 18 hours at very cold temperatures.
• A slow and cold fermentation resulted in a fresh yet weighted wine.
• The wine was kept on the lees for 9 months before being stabilised and bottled in November 2023.
• Shows notes of nasturtium, sugar-snap pea, fresh asparagus, and capsicum on the nose.
• 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 a tank.
• This is a wonderful food, wine, and will reward cellaring of between 10 – 20 years.
• Alcohol by Volume: 14.3%

Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2022

• A fresh coastal breeze cools the vines, ensuring the grapes retain a bracing acidity alongside pure fruit character.
• 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.
• Alcohol by Volume: 14.44%

Sauvignon Blanc 2023

• This wine is made up of a series of Sauvignon Blanc building blocks from different sites on Steenberg, harvested at different ripeness levels.
• Each block yields unique characteristics ranging from flinty, grassy, green pepper to gooseberry and ripe tropical flavours.

• This cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc has a sumptuous entry tied to an enduring length.
• The lifting acidity maintains a lively flavour on the palate with citrus blossom and quince while maintaining a distinctive mineral core derived from the Steenberg terroir.
• All the elements of this wine will enable it to bottle age well over the next 2-5 years.
