Kaapse Vonkel Brut

It pairs wonderfully with fresh oysters, sushi, light salads, and even mild cheeses. It's also great as an aperitif.

The grapes are sourced from the Stellenbosch region, using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier varietals.

The wine is bottle-fermented and spends 15 months on its lees, which adds complexity and richness.

The wine undergoes traditional Méthode Cap Classique fermentation. After primary fermentation in the bottle, it is aged on the lees for a minimum of 15 months.

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.
