Six Wines, One Winemaker, Zero Pretence
The Steel Wines Collection brings together six small-batch wines from Jason Steel — MasterChef South Africa 2013 finalist turned boutique winemaker. Each bottle is a snapshot of Robertson’s finest terroir, crafted with minimal intervention and maximum personality. From barrel-aged Colombard to heritage Cinsault, this collection is a tour of one of the Cape’s most exciting small wine labels.
Inside the Case
Steel Wines Colombard 2023 — From a young Bonnievale parcel on sandy, limestone-flecked soils by the Breede River. Wild-fermented and aged 12 months in old 500-litre French oak. Green mango and peach, real palate weight and a fresh, mineral acidity.
Steel Wines Red Blend 2022 — A juicy, seamless red with ripe plum, dark cherry, and soft tannins. Built for pure drinking pleasure.
Steel Wines Cinsault 2023 — Light, vibrant, and fragrant. Red cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate with silky tannins. Heritage grape, modern expression.
Steel Wines Grenache 2023 — Generous and perfumed with ripe raspberry, warm spice, and a supple, silky texture.
Steel Wines Rosé 2024 — A dry Shiraz rosé made only from free-run juice in the saignée style and kept in stainless steel for nine months. Sour cherry, pomegranate and strawberry with crunchy acidity and stony minerality.
Steel Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2021 — From a 1999 Silverthorn vineyard, matured 12 months in oak. Pure blackcurrant, fine tannins, and elegant structure.
Why You’ll Love It
This is a rare chance to taste the full Steel Wines range in a single case. Jason’s background in fine dining gives his wines an instinctive understanding of balance, texture, and food-friendliness. Whether you’re discovering a new favourite variety or sharing the collection with friends over a weekend braai, there’s something here for every palate — from the barrel-aged Colombard to the structured Cabernet Reserve.
Perfect Pairings
The Colombard shines with a white-fish ceviche or Cape Malay mussels. The Cinsault and Grenache are brilliant braai reds — light enough for warm evenings, flavourful enough to stand up to sosaties and boerewors. The Rosé is a natural with charcuterie, grilled prawns or a Mediterranean paella. And the Cabernet Reserve? Save that for the lamb shoulder or a slow-cooked stew.
