Steenberg Magna Carta 2021

R1,050.00

Region: Constantia

Tasting note:

Their 2021 Magna Carta strongly reflects the Steenberg terroir and the cooler, slower growing 2021 season by displaying aromas and concentrated flavours of elderflower, jasmine blossom and star-anise on the nose. The focus continues onto the palate where one finds an elegantly structured wine, showing ground spice and fruit richness tempered by a zesty acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. The Semillon component delivers a mouthfeel and weight in harmony with the lifting freshness provided by the Sauvignon-Blanc. It is sophisticated and ever-evolving in the glass, showing beautifully now, but will gain complexity with cellaring.

Food pairing suggestions:

Pairs beautifully with crayfish, duck, scallops, mussel soup and salmon tartare.

Steenberg, originally known as Swaaneweide (the feeding place of swans), is located about twenty minutes from the Cape Town city centre. In 1682 Catharina Michelse, also known as The Widow Ras, asked Simon van der Stel for a portion of ground at the foot of the Ou Kaapse Weg and he agreed to lease 25 Morgen to her. After he became the owner of Groot Constantia in 1685, she asked him for a legal title deed and a mandate was granted to her in 1688 to “cultivate, to plough and to sow and also to possess the farm below the stone mountain.” This historic mountainside winery, situated at the southernmost point of the Constantia Wine Route, has come a long way from its humble beginnings and is now a complete luxury destination, with two fine restaurants, an award-winning winery and a championship 18-hole golf course. Vineyards have the advantage of being open to cooling breezes from nearby False Bay. Lean decomposed granite soils, with water retention ability, contribute to the minerality of their award-winning wines.

Blend: 70% Sauvignon Blanc  and 30% Semillon. The two varieties are harvested and vinified separately according to their unique style before blending.
