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 Semillon is a beautiful pale gold colour. Aromas of apricot, cinnamon, dried pear and orange blossom greet you upon first inspection. There are also elderflower, gunflint and persimmon notes. Quince, hay bale, litchi, lime and roasted almond complete the sensation on the palate. Poised, weighted fruit concentrates the mid-palate, after which the wine broadens out with a rich, almost waxy texture and bright acidity. A citrus and floral spice lingers on the palate long after the last drop. This Semillon will continue to evolve in complexity and richness with age.
Food Pairing
Sémillon is best enjoyed with richly flavoured nutty cheeses, mildly spicy and aromatic dishes and as the perfect match to sushi.
