The Steenberg Brut 1682 Pinot Noir 2024 pours a delicate pale pink with a fine, persistent mousse. You will enjoy a vibrant bouquet of wild strawberry sorbet, raspberry jelly, and red apple skin. Subtle undertones of toasted brioche and creamy meringue add layers of complexity to the nose. On the palate, the wine feels lively and crisp with a refreshing acidity that carries the berry fruit through to a long, dry finish.

The cellar team follows the traditional French method to create this premium sparkling wine. They harvest the grapes at low sugar levels to preserve natural acidity and delicate fruit flavors. After whole-bunch pressing, the juice undergoes fermentation with a strong yeast strain to create a clean base wine. A second fermentation occurs inside the bottle to produce the signature bubbles. The wine rests on its yeast lees for a minimum of 15 months before disgorgement to develop its characteristic creamy texture.
