Langbult Steen “long hill Chenin Blanc” has been in the trusted hands of the Malan family for three generations. These gnarly old vines – with roots running deep in ancient, weathered shale soils – have been shaped over time and culminate in a wine that expresses a true sense of place. An intimate knowledge of this exceptional terroir and handcrafted winemaking capture the true spirit of Stellenbosch Steen.
Simonsig Langbult Steen Chenin Blanc
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.
