Steenberg Brut 1682 Chardonnay MCC (750ml)

Steenberg Brut 1682 Chardonnay 750 ml displays a pale lemon-straw color with extremely fine, lively bubbles. Steenberg Brut 1682 Chardonnay 750 ml opens with aromas of Granny Smith apple, candied lemon rind, and white peach, leading to a crisp palate layered with toasted croissant, honey-nectarines, and pistachio, finishing long, clean, and refreshing. Hand-picked Chardonnay grapes undergo the traditional Méthode Cap Classique process, with 18 months on lees developing elegance, texture, and refined drinkability for celebrations, seafood, or sophisticated aperitifs.

This 2021 vintage earned 90 points from Falstaff, praised for its finesse and balanced structure. Technical analysis shows ABV 12.0%, residual sugar 7.4 g/L, total acidity 6.3 g/L, and pH 3.26. Whole-cluster pressing, low juice yields, and 12–18 months lees ageing in the Robertson/Western Cape region contribute to its refined texture and complex aromatic profile.
