Sauvignon Blanc - Steenberg

In the glass, the Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc reveals a bright pale yellow color. To the nose, this Steenberg white wine reveals all manner of lemons, papayas, gallia melon, star fruit and physalis. As if that wasn't already impressive, stainless steel aging adds lovage, juniper and garrigue.

This dry white wine from Steenberg is just right for wine lovers who can't drink their wine dry enough. The Sauvignon Blanc already comes very close to this, as it was pressed with just 3.8 grams of residual sugar. On the tongue, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly light texture. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Sauvignon Blanc flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without at the same time lacking in juicy liveliness. The final of this ripening white wine from the Coastal winegrowing region finally thrills with considerable reverberation.
