The Steenberg Chardonnay indulges with intense aromas of citrus marmalade, fresh Golden Delicious apple, butterscotch and shortbread on the nose. A subtle vanilla oak spice seamlessly carries through from the nose to the palate, where it meets delicious nuances of quince and candied apple. This stunning flavor profile is complemented by a clean, crisp structure and a long finish, which in turn is perfectly balanced by bracing acidity and chalky minerality.
Your favorite wine with a fresh new look! Steenberg Vineyards has released new packaging of Steenberg Chardonnay (formerly Steenberg Sphynx Chardonnay) with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.

The grapes were gently pressed on the whole bunch to ensure optimal fruit extraction. The Chardonnay then fermented and aged for a total of six months in new 225-liter French oak barrels for 50% and in older, previously occupied and larger French barriques for 50%. Finally, the two components were blended in stainless steel tanks and the finished wine was bottled.
