Steenberg is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc, the refreshing summer wine crafted from idyllic cool climate vineyards in the Constantia Wine Valley.
Their prowess as a producer of top tier Sauvignon Blanc is built on Steenberg’s unique terroir and dedicated focus on this cornerstone variety over the past 30 years.
“Our vines are rooted in lean soils which are excellent for Sauvignon Blanc as they naturally keep the yields low, concentrate the flavours and add a distinctive minerality to the wines. This incredible terroir and the unique micro climate of our cool, east facing slopes inspire us daily to create wines with a strong sense of place,” says Cellarmaster Elunda Basson.
The vibrant Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2022, the latest vintage in the Classic range, is a zesty and fresh expression of multiple vineyard sites at Steenberg, used as building blocks to capture the full flavour spectrum of this variety. The wine makes its first acquaintance with a seductive bouquet of fresh Cape gooseberry, nettle, lemon zest, Granny Smith apple and white peach. Bright acidity lifts the lively flavours of citrus blossom and quince supported by a distinctive mineral core, the hallmark of Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc.
Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is available at leading stores, the Steenberg Tasting Room and online at www.steenbergfarm.com at a cellar door price of R155.00.
