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
The wine has a wonderful deep red colour. On the nose you pick up perfumed aromas of sour cherry, raspberry juice, and floral hints with a sweet vanilla spice. Although this is a medium bodied wine, it comes across as light and elegant. The wine is full of flavour and has an exciting juiciness to it.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with mushrooms stuffed with ham or bacon, monkey gland burger, cottage pie, venison pie, braaied/char grilled ribs or chops, and of course a meat lover’s Pizza.
