Steenberg Vineyards The Magus 2009
This wine is made from the best possible Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that I could source. Both varieties were cold fermented in older French oak in order to capture maximum fruit. The wines were left on the lees for 8 weeks to enhance mouth-feel and then blended, stabilised and bottled. Tasting note: Wild and herbaceous with piercing mineral notes. Full vibrant palate, hints of passion fruit and tangerine elegantly balanced by subtle smokiness. This wine is a true reflection of cool terroir and will age wonderfully with careful cellaring.
