Our 2023 Chardonnay shows upfront and intense aromas of raw honey, fresh Golden Delicious apple, butterscotch and shortbread on the nose. Subtle vanilla oak spice is carried through from the nose to the palate where it meets flavours of persimmon and cinnamon stick. It is complemented by a bright, clean structure and long finish, which in turn is tempered by a lifting acidity and chalky minerality. The wine is ready to enjoy now but will reward patience and age gracefully for the next 2- 5 years.

In The Cellar
Our Chardonnay grapes are sourced from Robertson. The grapes were softly whole-bunch pressed for optimum fruit extraction. Barrel maturation lasted for a total of seven months in half new 225l French oak barrels with the balance in older, large format French oak barrels. Thereafter, the wine was taken to stainless steel tanks, blended, and prepared for bottling in November 2023.

STEENBERG SEMILLON 2023
R280.00 VATWine Club price R238.00 p/b
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.

STEENBERG SAUVIGNON BLANC 2024

The 2024 Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc, pale-straw in colour with an ever so slight green hue, hypnotises with a seductive bouquet showing fresh cape gooseberry, nettle, lemon zest, granny smith apple pith, and white peach. This cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc has a sumptuous entry tied to an enduring length. The lifting acidity maintains a lively flavour on the palate with citrus blossom and quince while maintaining a distinctive mineral core derived from the Steenberg terroir. All the elements of this wine will enable it to bottle age well over the next 2-5 years.
