Steenberg
The Steenberg wine estate lies at the foot of Table Mountain and is the oldest documented wine farm in South Africa. Even before the first manor house was built in Constantia, the wine estate was mentioned in a document in 1682.
The farm covers around 203 hectares, of which 70 hectares are vineyards. It is located very close to the coast and not far from Cape Town. The elegant sparkling and white wines thrive particularly well in this rather cool climate. Weathered granite, an important component of the soil, brings a very typical minerality to the fruity wines. The sparkling wines in particular benefit from this and are undoubtedly among the best in the entire Cape region.
Following extensive renovation in 1990, the manor house, which dates back to 1740, and the entire residential complex were renovated alongside the vineyards. Today, Steenberg is a flagship wine estate with a restaurant and hotel. At Savinis you will find the two sparkling wines Chardonnay Brut MCC and Pinot Noir Rosé Brut MCC.
