Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Maker comment
Aromas of gooseberry, lime, melon, cassis and white flowers. like a bouquet of flowers. Sauvignon blanc grown in cool climates starts with a gorgeous flavor and continues to linger. Grapefruit peel and elderflower-like sourness gradually spread while keeping the mineral feeling that comes from Steenberg's terroir. This wine can be drunk now or aged well.

Producer information
Founded in 1682, it is the oldest winery in the Cape region. Steenberg is located in the cool Constantia Valley between Cape Town and Table Mountain, about 30 minutes outside of Cape Town. Steenberg means a mountain of stones, and in fact there is a rocky mountain nearby, and the complex terroir has produced numerous award-winning wines, including the representative Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and bubbles. The owner has changed frequently since the first Catalina Ross, but in 2005 Graham Beck, the leading sparkling maker in South Africa, became the owner and continues to this day. A five-star luxury spa hotel, a luxury private villa, a golf course, and two restaurants are also located on the winery grounds with a wonderful view, making it a winery loved by celebrities around the world.
