Our philosophy
at Steenberg
Our vineyards thrive under ideal conditions, yielding wines of exceptional quality and character. From the meticulous care of our vines to the expert craftsmanship in our cellar, each bottle reflects the rich heritage and innovative spirit of Steenberg.
01
Our Process
Our wines are made in the vineyard and cared for in the cellar.
We want our wines to tell the story of this very special pocket of land that we nurture, so our touch is as light as possible in the vineyards and in the cellar. Our environmentally friendly farming practices place regeneration at their heart and ensure our vines are rooted in thriving soils that produce healthy grapes of focus and clarity.
A low intervention approach in the cellar continues this golden thread, with the bottled wines expressing an eloquent sense of place.

02
our climate
Perhaps the biggest influence on the distinctiveness of our wines is our cool climate, a combination of strong, fresh ocean breezes — the farm is less than five kilometers from both the Indian and Atlantic oceans — low average temperatures, reliable winter rainfall and the helpful shadow of Steenberg mountain over our predominantly east-facing slopes. This confluence of factors allows for slower ripening periods, resulting in a deeper concentration of flavour in the grapes — ideal for creating complex, expressive wines with beautiful ageing potential.
03
our soils
There are 21 soil types in Steenberg’s vineyards, the majority being a combination of decomposed granite, flint and Table Mountain sandstone that are some of the oldest in the wine-growing world at 500-600 million years. Ancient, well-drained soils are ideal for our signature grape Sauvignon Blanc, while the clay substrate aids water retention and lessens our demand for irrigation.
04
our plantings
Steenberg has 55 hectares under vine, currently planted to seven varieties on 45 blocks. The star of the show is undoubtedly Sauvignon Blanc with just short of two-thirds, followed by Semillon, Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo and Malbec.
05
on sustainability
We have been tending vines at Steenberg for over 340 years. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from regenerative farming — including biodynamic and precision methods — to soil management, water conservation, native flora restoration and caring for our diverse wildlife.

our team
A love of Steenberg’s inimitable terroir lured Cellar Master Elunda Basson to Steenberg in 2019 following two decades making award-winning still and sparkling wines. Elunda has won a slew of accolades including top honours at the 2018 Vertex Awards. She is also a sought-after judge for the IWSC, Veritas and Cap Classique Challenge and has acted as Vice Chairman of the Cap Classique Society since 2017 and is the Chairperson of the SA Sauvignon Blanc Association.
Assistant Winemaker Thabile Cele joined Steenberg in 2025 following several harvests with the estate and a diverse international winemaking journey. Having worked with leading wineries across South Africa, Sonoma County, Germany’s Mosel Valley, Austria and New Zealand, she brings a global perspective and fresh energy to the Steenberg cellar team.
Vlok Hanekom grew up in the vineyards of the Northern Cape and spent his early professional years as a viticulturist in that area before planting the first vineyards in KwaZulu-Natal in 2006. At Linton Park in Wellington, Vlok honed his skills before joining Steenberg Vineyards in 2022.

more about vlok
Steenberg’s Viticulturist, Vlok Hanekom, joined in 2022 after a career spanning vineyards from Kakamas to Wellington.

Today, Vlok leads Steenberg’s farming operations, focusing on Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, while raising his family in Constantia.
