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
Pale straw; not overtly fruity (typical for Rhône varieties), but some stone fruit with thatch and warm hay. Ripe & full-bodied, some peach and dry scrub flavours with soft-ish acidity and firm oaking. Great!
Food Pairing
A meze platter with dips & warm pita bread, or deep-fried chicken with sweetcorn fritters, or lamb chops with butterbean mash.
