The Garland

This elegant wine pairs excellently with various red meat dishes, enhancing their flavors and providing a harmonious dining experience.​

The Garland is produced from personally selected Cabernet Sauvignon vines growing on ancient, weathered granite soils high up on the slopes of the Simonsberg, reflecting the unique terroir of the Stellenbosch region.

The Garland is known for its ability to age gracefully, with previous vintages showing excellent maturation potential. While it is accessible to enjoy after five years, additional cellaring of 3 to 5 years is often rewarded, as Simonsberg Cabernets are well known for their ability to improve over time.

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.
