Section 1: A Summer Symphony of Flavours

As the vibrant season of summer graces the picturesque city of Cape Town, it brings with it a bounty of locally harvested stone fruits. The radiance of the sun-kissed period unfolds a variety of peaches, nectarines, and plums, each competing for attention while offering an unrivalled eruption of freshness and taste. These stone fruits, with their adaptability and characteristic summer flavour, form the crux of numerous culinary creations. They lend a unique charm to salads, transform desserts into gastronomic wonders, and boost festive dishes, turning the mundane into the momentous.

Imbibing these fruits in their pristine, fresh state is a pleasure unto itself, but coupling them with an apt beverage enhances their flavour to an elevated level. This is where the Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, a wine as dynamic as the summer season, makes its grand entrance. This bubbly wine, with its pronounced fruitiness and bracingly crisp finale, forms a flawless harmony with succulent peaches and indulgent cheesecakes. The aroma of the wine is an orchestra of summer fruits; passion fruit and summer melons, with a hint of lime, engulfing the senses with a fragrant caress.
