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 2023 Semillon is a beautiful pale gold colour. Aromas of cinnamon and dried apricot and orange blossom greet you upon first inspection. There are also nectarine, dusty road and golden delicious notes. The palate shares much the same fruit profile as the nose though now with distinct custard and vanilla pod characteristics. 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.
