December 7, 2023
Held annually by Sauvignon Blanc South Africa, this year’s Top 10 winners were selected as SA’s finest benchmark wines out of a total of 169 entries. At the pinnacle of the farm’s dedicated focus on Sauvignon Blanc spanning over 30 years, The Black Swan 2022 is the purest expression of Steenberg’s terroir. This acclaimed wine is crafted from the two stand out vineyard blocks of the vintage and epitomises timeless elegance and craftsmanship, showing remarkable ageability and sense of place.
Elunda Basson, cellarmaster: “The Black Swan is a naked wine that showcases the best fruit of the vintage. This wine has the bright acidity that you would expect from a cool climate wine, with wonderful fullness and length. We practice very little fancy footwork in the cellar other than extreme attention to detail to make sure we nurture and protect the true expression that is authentically Steenberg.”
