This is the flagship red wine of Simonsig and reflects the best quality the vintage has delivered. The first Tiara was made in 1990 and upon release in 1992 it was an instant hit being chosen by the Wine of the Month Club as Wine of the year. The 1997 was the first vintage that had Petit Verdot included in the blend.
Warm August triggered an early bud break followed by a warm, dry and windy summer which led to an early start to the harvest. Every aspect of the 2015 vintage were in perfect sync and almost like a perfect storm it turned out one of the greateds Cape vintages ever.
Dark Persian carped red with blach center. Perfumed floral and violet nose with tell tale pencil lead notes. On the palate the lifted flavours of red cherries and crushed red currants are framed by fine grained tannins resulting in a seamless and harmonious wine. Tiara always has a style of elegance and femininity as the name suggests and the 2015 is certainly ons of the most memorable vintages since 1990 when it was first made. Drink now or cellar for longer.
