Tasting Note

The nose is full and intense with aromas of passion fruit, summer melons and a hint of lime. The palate is light and smooth yet with a zippy acidity to lift the tropical flavours of pineapple, pear and guava. A fresh brightness rounds off a delicious and refreshing sparkling wine.

Product Notes

Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing and crisp sparkling wine, with a unique South African twist. The wine boasts a bright and cheerful yellow-green hue, which sparkles beautifully in the glass. The aroma is filled with the scent of tropical fruits, such as guava and gooseberry, while the flavor is enhanced by crisp apple and citrusy grapefruit. The effervescent bubbles of the Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc are perfect to add a touch of celebratory elegance to any special occasion. The wine is perfectly balanced with a creamy texture and a dry finish, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

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.
