Simonsig
Simonsig Wine Estate is synonymous with the history of the South African wine industry, the Stellenbosch wine region, and the Malan family name. These elements are intertwined in this family-owned farm, where the late Frans Malan produced the first bottle of our much-loved Kaapse Vonkel, South Africaʼs first Méthode Cap Classique made in the classic bottle-fermented style. He is also honoured for co-founding the thriving Stellenbosch Wine Route, a first in its time. Today, his legacy lives on through his sons, Francois and Johan, and grandchildren Francois-Jacques, Christelle and Michael, the 2nd and 3rd Malan generations at Simonsig Wine Estate.
Description
This oaked Chardonnay presents a bouquet of ripe yellow fruit, imparting richness and a lovely mouthfeel to the wine. It reveals subtle nuances of beeswax and spice, complemented by hints of lemon meringue and toast. The wine boasts an elegant structure, with a soft texture and a lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay is ideal when paired with fresh oysters, creamy seafood pasta, mushroom dishes or poached crayfish. It would also complement a citrus and goat’s cheese salad beautifully, as well as grilled chicken. Alternatively, it is delicious on its own for pure enjoyment.
