JHB West - July 2020

Eco-friendly wine in a can
There are a few reasons why we’re raving about the new
Robertson Single Serve wines. Firstly, they’re 200ml, so
they’re the perfect serve ... exactly what you want if you’re
just after one glass. Secondly, they’re packaged in a can,
which makes them very convenient to carry for hiking,
camping, and alfresco get-togethers. Thirdly ... there’s a red
and white option. Robertson Winery Sauvignon Blanc
2019 (fresh and dry with generous notes of green apples
and melons) and Merlot 2019 (rich and smooth with
ripe, punchy plum and sweet black cherry flavours and a
velvet finish). Lastly, they tick the eco-friendly box ... the
lightweight packaging significantly reduces the carbon
footprint, they’re 100 per cent recyclable (more recyclable
than glass) and can be recycled over and over again. You’ll
find them for around R25 each, and can buy them online
at shop.robertsonwinery.co.za.
If you can’t go to the wine
farm tasting room...
Let the tasting room come to you.
How genius is this? A full wine tasting room
experience in the comfort of your own
home. Yes, please! The Steenberg @ Home
experience includes a variety of wines in
mixed-case selections and to guide you
through your tasting, brings Cellarmaster
Elunda Basson into your home through video
clips ... clips featuring the cellarmaster and
tasting room ambassadors who’ll captivate
you with interesting wine stories and guide
you through the tasting as if you were sitting
in Steenberg’s plush tasting lounge or on the
outstretched terrace. Each tasting pack also
includes a luxurious brochure guiding you
through the full Steenberg wine experience
complete with tasting notes, winemaking
information and food pairing suggestions.
There are three different tastings selections.
With a Méthode Cap Classique, a Sauvignon
Blanc, a Rosé and three red wines, the Classic
Tasting Selection is ideal for aspiring wine
enthusiasts and a great snapshot of what
Steenberg has to offer. If bubbles are your
thing, then raise your glass to the Bubbly
Tasting Selection ... this starts with the fresh
and youthful Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc
followed by Steenberg’s acclaimed and elegant
Méthode Cap Classique range, including the
flagship prestige cuvée, Lady R. And if you’re
looking to splurge, then try the
Flagship Tasting Selection with the blueblooded
Italian Nebbiolo, the Natural Sweet
Semillon and the iconic and intense Catharina
Red Blend being some of the signature
wines representing the best of Steenberg
in this flight. For details and to order, visit
