About

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.

Global Fine Wine Challenge Judges Commentary

Toni Paterson MW – Australia

“Rich fruit. Cherry pie. A hint of bracken. A bright, high acid style. A love the red currant flavours. Medium weight. A fragrant, pure, fleshing style with vibrancy and energy.”

Huon Hooke – Australia

“Meaty funky/leafy notes over earthy/broken rock minerals, some cassis and a little leafiness. Lots going on. Bright mineral acidity keeps it all lively. Like it a lot.”

Jane Skilton MW – New Zealand

“Big and bold. Quite impressive tannins still the most prominent character, but nice ripe dark fruits in support.”

Anthony Mueller – America

“Red and black fruit, herbals, turned earth and hints of oak, balanced structure, good acidity, fine-grained tannins, long spicy finish very food friendly. Bravo!”
