Tasting Note

Aromas and concentrated flavours of elderflower, jasmine blossom and star-anise on the nose. Elegantly structured , showing ground spice and fruit richness tempered by a zesty acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. It is a smoothly textured wine with poise and precision, the Semillon component delivering a mouthfeel and weight in harmony with the lifting freshness provided by the Sauvignon-Blanc. The wine has a persistent finish that lingers, revealing a variety of nuanced flavours ranging from fresh vanilla-pod to citrus marmalade and quince preserve. Showing beautifully now, but will gain complexity with cellaring.

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.
