Steenberg 1682 Western Cape Chardonnay 2011 MCC Brut 92 Points


Pale straw with yellow reflections.
Clean, moderate intensity, delicate citrus medley, Chardonnay austerity evident, striking purity, sandy mineral, brush of oak, light toast, subtle layers of complexity.

Dry with high acidity, linear, citric freshness, precise, racy, lots of energy, salty tang, mineral thread follows through, persistent, long length.
An impressive Methode Cap Classique, overdelivers on price point, focus style, one of South Africa’s finest.
