Pairings
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

Wine making | Grapes from the oldest Chenin vineyard, planted in 1986, were harvested at four stages of ripeness to capture the full spectrum of Chenin blanc flavours. They were left on the skins overnight at a low temperature to extract all the flavours and concentrated sugars. After a year on the fermentation lees, in a combination of 400-litres and 225-litres French oak barrels, the wine presented a delicious layered fruit and rich depth of flavour. |
