Tasting Note

Aromas and concentrated flavours of elderflower, jasmine blossom and star-anise on the nose. Elegantly structured , showing ground spice and fruit richness tempered by a zesty acidity that forms the wine’s backbone. It is a smoothly textured wine with poise and precision, the Semillon component delivering a mouthfeel and weight in harmony with the lifting freshness provided by the Sauvignon-Blanc. The wine has a persistent finish that lingers, revealing a variety of nuanced flavours ranging from fresh vanilla-pod to citrus marmalade and quince preserve. Showing beautifully now, but will gain complexity with cellaring.

Product Notes

Steenberg Magna Carta is an exquisite South African wine, exuding pure elegance. This splendid pairing of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes delivers an aromatic complexity with striking depth. It entices the senses with its nose of pithy peaches, white asparagus and a hint of nettle, culminating in a lingering aftertaste. The wine's charismatic flavours of white pear, citrus, and ample minerality dance harmoniously upon the palate. It is a full-bodied wine with a delightful flinty crispness, well-rounded and perfect to be savoured on special occasions. Magna Carta is indeed the pinnacle of Steenberg’s wine craftsmanship.
