Tasting Note

The 2019 Lady R has a pale copper hue. Aromatically, this wine shows hints of lemon rind marmalade, quince jam, melba toast, roasted almonds, raspberry coulis and dried herbs. The creaminess on the palate is complemented by the subtle and refreshing acidity of the wine. There’s a salinity that carries through on the palate alongside restrained apple and stone fruit spiciness.

Product Notes

Steenberg Lady R Cap Classique is a sparkling wine that exudes elegance and sophistication. Made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, this South African wine is known for its delicate bubbles and crisp, refreshing flavors. The nose reveals notes of citrus, green apple, and toasted brioche, while the palate offers a vibrant acidity and a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind a hint of minerality. Perfect for any special occasion or celebration, Steenberg Lady R Cap Classique is a true expression of the terroir and craftsmanship that goes into producing this exceptional sparkling wine.

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.
