From this winery
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 Africa's 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. Read more

| Harvest | Careful sorting of the vineyards ensured that only the best quality grapes reached the cellar. After gentle destemming, the grapes underwent a two-day cold maceration before being inoculated with a carefully selected yeast strain. |
| Wine making | Throughout fermentation, 2 to 4 pump-overs per day were carried out, adjusted according to the rate and stage of fermentation. The wine spent 13 to 22 days on the skins before being gently pressed in tanks. |
| Aging | It was then racked into barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing, with a total of three racking during this ageing process. 18 months in French oak barrels: 26% first racking; 27% second racking; 47% third racking. |
