Steenberg Catharina Red Blend is a full-bodied South African red wine. Catharina is bold yet gentle, frank yet subtle, confident and alluring. The colour is black-red. The nose is very seductive with sweet cassis, raspberry, cigars, and dark chocolate. Light spicy notes from the Merlot provide a refreshing finish. The taste is silky smooth thanks to the Petit Verdot, with good texture and depth from the Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of coffee, vanilla, and cranberry compote linger in the mouth long after the last sip. This wine is beautiful to look at now and will age for up to 5 years in the cellar. Fire up the “braai"! This wine pairs well with grilled meat.
The Steenberg Catharina Red blend is made from grapes from only the best vintages. The wine consists of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each variety is fermented separately, on the skins, for 15–20 days. After pressing, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging for 18 months. Subsequently, the wine ages for another 6 months.
In 1682, the truly magnificent Steenberg was founded by the German immigrant Catharina Ras. In 1688, she became the first woman to own a wine estate in Africa. At the time, the estate was called Swaaneweide, named after the many Spur-winged Geese—still present today—which were mistaken for swans. The estate is situated in the picturesque Constantia Valley, about 20 minutes from Cape Town. Alongside the ultra-modern winery, there is also a 5-star hotel, a bistro, and one of the finest 18-hole golf courses. A highly enthusiastic team with extensive know-how produces fantastic wines year after year. After many investments in climate and soil analyses, a completely new replanting program was established to make this possible. The result speaks for itself. Taste the Steenberg Stately Cabernet Shiraz and you will be convinced.
