Simonsig Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Simonsig Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

R225,00

The wine has a crimson colour with a dark core. A perfume of wild blackberry and cranberry fills the glass with gentle hints of violets, cocoa and cured meat savouriness. On the palate, there are complex flavours of creamy strawberry, ripe plum and a touch of tilled earth and fynbos. It is a well-balanced wine with fine, well-integrated tannins that leaves a long dry finish.

About the Wine Estate

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 Christelle and Michael, the 2nd and 3rd Malan generations at Simonsig Wine Estate.
