Steenberg Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2025

The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a pure expression of the Steenberg terroir and shows notes of nasturtium, sugar-snap pea, fresh asparagus and capsicum on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh lemon and subtle hints of dried apricot and mange tout. A mouth-watering acidity accompanies a full and long finish achieved with extended lees contact in tank.

This is a wonderful food wine. and

about the harvest: The Black Swan Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of the top Sauvignon Blanc vineyards on Steenberg and is a selection of the best fruit from the vintage.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed / de-stemmed and left on the skins for 8 -18 hours at very cold temperatures. The juice was then left to settle for 2 days before racking and fermentation. A slow and cold fermentation resulted in a fresh, yet weighted wine. The wine was kept on the lees for 9 months before being stabilised and bottled in
December 2025.
