South African Wines
Simonsig Estate – Stellenbosch
The Malan Family established the Simonsig Estate 50 years ago and it is named after the magnificent views of the Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, 30 miles from Cape Town. Pioneers in Cape Wine production Simonsig were the first to plant Pinot Meunier and were instrumental in the formation of the ‘Cap Classique’ classification. A winery of ‘Firsts’ including introducing Gewurztraminer to the Cape. Today, still under the family’s ownership, the Simonsig Estate passionately produces still and traditional method sparkling wines using a wide variety of classic grape varieties and continues to be one of South Africa’s most awarded wineries.
