Steytler Pentagon

Delicious matched with some slow-roasted rosemary lamb.

A 4th Generation Family Owned and managed wine business, beginning in the year 1946. The Steytler Family celebrated 75 years on the Bottelary Hills based property in Stellenbosch in 2021 and the hand over from 3rd to 4th generation in 2022. The portfolio focuses predominantly on the production of Chenin blanc and Pinotage, across 3 ranges, showcasing a different style of each of these varietals in each range.

Vines planted in weathered granite topsoil on a layer of gravel, above a crumbly clay sub-soil. Yield of 5 tons per hectare.

The wines were all separately aged for 20 months in 225l and 300l barrels and blended after careful selection. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Specially selected from the best blocks on the estate, these components were individually fermented in stainless steel tanks with a cultured biodynamic yeast to enhance terroir characteristics.
