Tasting Note

The 1682 Chardonnay Cap Classique has a pale lemon colour and a delicate mousse. It exudes freshness and pure fruit on the nose, vibrant notes of Granny Smith apple, candied lemon rind and white peach. It is lively on the palate, displaying finesse and complexity with a crisp acidity. Flavours of lemon cordial, honeyed nectarines, toasted croissant and pistachio are evident on the palate. It has a long, yet refreshing finish.

Product Notes

Steenberg 1682 Chardonnay Brut Méthode Cap Classique is produced in South Africa using traditional methods to create a sparkling wine that is both complex and refreshing. The wine is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes and is aged for three years on the lees, resulting in a rich, creamy texture. Delicate aromas of lemon cream and brioche lead into a palate of fresh apple and pear flavors with a crisp acidity. The fine bubbles and mousse give way to a long, zesty finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, oysters, sushi, and light salads.

About the Winery

Steenberg

Simon van der Stel granted Catharina Michelse's request in 1682 for a plot of land near the Ou Kaapse Weg by leasing her 25 Morgen. This is how the illustrious progenitor came into control of what is today known as Steenberg. Frederik Russouw purchased the land in 1695 and erected the U-shaped residence. From 1765 through 1801, Nicolaas and his wife owned the property. Daniel purchased the property after Nicolaas' death in 1802, and Johannes Adriaan Louw of Fisantekraal afterwards purchased it. Nicolaas Louw, the son of Johannes Adriaan, had a deep love for Steenberg. When he passed away in 1976, his three children shared in the property's inheritance because he entered farming right out of school. The Louw family still owned Steenberg up until 1990, when Johannesburg Consolidated Investments bought it and transformed it into the magnificent hotel and winery it is today.
