Our 2015 Magna Carta strongly reflects the Steenberg terroir and the cool, long growing season by showing absolute fruit purity and a clean minerality. It has a pale, white-gold colour with subtle aromas of blackcurrant leaf, orange and peach blossom, lime rind, tropical fruit and spiciness. The focus continues onto the palate where one finds an elegantly structured wine with zesty acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. This wine has a beautiful texture that comes from judicious use of oak and malolactic fermentation in some of the barrels.
The 2015 Magna Carta with its freshness and fullness is a veritable food wine and pairs beautifully with crayfish, duck, foie gras and salmon tartare.
