Information about "Steenberg The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2025"
Indulge in the elegance of Steenberg The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc, unfurling a seductive aroma of lively lemon zest and sun-dried apricots. The palate is graced with vibrant 'green' hints intertwining aromatic characteristics of nasturtium, asparagus, sugar snap peas, and mange tout. An invigorating citrus-fresh acidity beautifully complements the wine's rich and smooth texture, ensuring a perfectly balanced profile. The finish is long and nuanced, enhanced by extended contact with the lees in the tank. A distinguished example within South Africa's premier Sauvignon Blanc offerings!
This exceptional Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from select vineyards, showcasing the finest fruit of the vintage. The grapes undergo destemming and crushing before being left on the skins for 18 hours at cool temperatures. After resting for two days, fermentation begins slowly and coolly, resulting in a fresh yet full-bodied wine. The wine then matures on the lees for an additional nine months before bottling.
