Steenberg Winemaker’s Dinner with JD Pretorius
at Il Tartufo

6 October 2010


Welcome drink

Steenberg Chardonnay Brut 1682 NV

Dry Methode Cap Classique sparkling wine. This wine combines the richness of the chardonnay grape with the berry fruit of the Pinot Noir.

ANTIPASTO – STARTERS

v Caprese Fungi with Basil Pesto

v Grilled brown mushroom with tomato and mozzarella served with a basil pesto

Steenberg Semillon

Made from very ripe fruit, this complex Semillon shows intense dried apricot aromas with citrus zestiness that flows onto the palate. It has a pleasing smokiness and delicate lemongrass and lime aroma. Well integrated oak flavours create a creaminess, which leads to a long, silky mouth feel.

PRIMO – FIRST COURSE

v Staccetti Asparagi con sherry

Homemade pasta with fresh asparagus and sherry

Steenberg H.M.S. Rattlesnake

A Sauvignon Blanc made from grapes sourced from the Durbanville and Constantia choice vineyards. This wine features a Smokey mineral character with layering herbaceous notes. Rich and full on the palate, strong finishing and opening up into tropical note.

SORBET

v Granita al Limone, zenzero, olio extravergine

SECONDO – SECOND COURSE

v Le Fettine di Vitello al il Tartufo

Veal slices with truffle and mushroom sauce.

Steenberg Nebbiolo

This medium bodied Nebbiolo is light plum in colour with hints of stewed prunes, spice and strawberry preserve on the nose

DOLCE – DESSERT

v Hazelnut Ice cream

Price: R350 pp
