Steenberg
The Cape’s first farm established in 1682 has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Roughly 30 minutes from the bustling heart of Cape Town Steenberg is a destination steeped in heritage.
Description
The 2018 Catharina is bold yet suave, forthright yet subtle, assured and alluring. It displays volumes of basil and cedar, cassis and lavender blossom, cinnamon stick and dark chocolate. Layers of concentrated red and black fruit—raspberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry—are present on both the nose and palate, accented by a full, smooth texture from the Cabernet Sauvignon component. Light herbal notes from the Merlot lend a refreshing finish, while the Malbec and Petit Verdot round out the blend, adding structure and depth.
Food Pairing
Dark fruit and spice, lifting acidity, and an encompassing tannic finish create the optimal pairing for most red meat, particularly a garlic and rosemary stuffed roast lamb shoulder, or rich saucy dishes.
