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 displays an inky garnet colour in the glass. From the start there is a depth of fruit that is noticeable with a sappy dark fruit intensity. Crushed black berries, sour cherry, violets and spice mixed in with hints of earthy notes gives a layered complexity on the palate. The wine has a vibrant acidity, powdery tannins with soft oak flavours that gives it a bit of richness.
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.
