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
Our 2021 Magna Carta strongly reflects the Steenberg terroir and the cooler, slower growing 2021 season by displaying aromas and concentrated flavours of elderflower, jasmine blossom and star-anise on the nose. The focus continues onto the palate where one finds an elegantly structured wine, showing ground spice and fruit richness tempered by a zesty acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. The Semillon component delivers a mouthfeel and weight in harmony with the lifting freshness provided by the Sauvignon-Blanc. It is sophisticated and ever-evolving in the glass, showing beautifully now, but will gain complexity with cellaring.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with crayfish, duck, scallops, mussel soup and salmon tartare.
