Simonsig Langbult Steen 2022

The wine has a light straw colour with a lime green tinge. On the nose you pick up complex aromas of orange blossom, melon, dried apricot and ginger spice. The first thing you notice on the palate is the tangy acidity that carries the flavours of white pear, lime and green apple. The wine has a beautiful minerality, but not without a light creamy texture from the lees contact in barrel.

Langbult Steen: Time, place and passion

Grapes from our oldest Chenin Vineyard (1987) were harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure excellent flavour and balance. Grapes were whole bunch pressed for elegance and freshness. Unclarified juice was racked directly into older French oak barrels to undergo spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. The wine was aged on primary lees with regular batonage for 18 months. A combination of older 400L and 225L barrels were blended to create a complex wine with depth of flavour and freshness.
