Steenberg

Description
Our 2019 Sphynx Chardonnay shows upfront and intense aromas of limestone, orange blossom, butterscotch and crème brûlée on the nose. Subtle vanilla oak spice is carried through from the nose to the palate where it meets flavours of pear and dried apple. It is complemented by a silky, elegant structure and creamy texture, which in turn is tempered by clean acidity and chalky minerality. The wine is ready to enjoy now but will reward patience and age gracefully for the next 2- 5 years.
Food Pairing
Perfect with light and delicate food such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish like crab and prawns.
