Tasting Note

The 2022 Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc, pale-straw in colour with an ever so slight green hue, shows fresh cape gooseberry, nettle, lemon zest, granny smith apple pith, and white peach. 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.

Product Notes

Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing and vibrant white wine that hails from the picturesque Cape Town vineyards of South Africa. With its pale straw color and crisp acidity, this wine offers a tantalizing bouquet of tropical fruits, citrus, and fresh herbs. On the palate, flavors of green apple, gooseberry, and lemon zest harmoniously blend with a hint of minerality, creating a well-balanced and elegant finish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, salads, or light dishes, Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc is sure to delight the senses and leave a lasting impression of the rich terroir from which it originates.

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.
