About this Item
Steenberg Wine Farm is located in the Constantia Valley and is home to world class wines, five star hospitality and exceptional cuisine. A complete destination, the farm houses an exceptional winery, producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc in South Africa, along with several other celebrated varietals.
Winery Notes: The wine is full-bodied and reflects a fusion of the best red varieties on Steenberg: the dark earthy tones of Cabernet, the fresh minty character of Merlot and the perfume notes of Cabernet Franc. Beautiful notes of dark cherries and spice lead the nose with a subtle hint of aniseed. On the palate the wine delivers a complex but elegant structure, with hints of vanilla and cedar oak and a savory character which makes you long for more.

Critics Ratings
‘Barrel selection best of 2009 vintage; exhibits vineyard’s trademark perfumed eucalypt in powerful yet graceful cab-led Bordeaux blend, with ripe, compact fruit lifted by elegance of cab franc, softened by merlot & underpinned by all-new oak. No 2008.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
