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 Cap Classique Brut, crafted from a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, opens with a lively bouquet of orange peel, zesty citrus, and green apple, underpinned by delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it reveals layers of white pear and a fine, persistent mousse that adds texture and finesse. The wine is elegant and well-balanced, with a crisp acidity that drives a long, refreshing finish. A refined sparkling wine that showcases both varietal purity and the hallmark sophistication of traditional method production.
Food Pairing
Serve well-chilled (6-8°C) in a flute or tulip glass to preserve its fine bubbles. A refined aperitif that pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, smoked salmon, goat cheese canapés, seafood risotto, light poultry, or lemony desserts like tarte au citron.
