Catharina Steenberg 2021 750ml is the flagship South African Bordeaux-style red blend from Steenberg Vineyards in Constantia. Crafted from the finest barrels of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, this exceptional wine reflects the elegance and complexity of one of South Africa’s oldest wine estates. Each varietal is vinified separately before spending 18 months maturing in predominantly new French oak barrels, allowing the components to develop depth, structure, and seamless integration. The 2021 vintage delivers outstanding concentration, refined tannins, and impressive ageing potential, making it a superb expression of Constantia’s cool-climate terroir.

The nose reveals captivating aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, lavender blossom, basil, and cedar, complemented by notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, concentrated layers of ripe red and black fruit are balanced by supple tannins, vibrant acidity, and elegant herbal nuances, while the Malbec and Petit Verdot add structure, depth, and lingering spice. The finish is long, smooth, and beautifully poised with exceptional balance and finesse. Catharina Steenberg 2021 pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, slow-cooked beef dishes, and mature hard cheeses.
