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. Now you can taste and compare the 2008 and 2015 vintages of this flagship blend in magnum bottles!
Tiara 2008
Cool growing season with rain showers in Feb and March. Weather changed and the last part of the harvest was moderate to warm allowing the Cabernets and Merlot to ripen beautifully. The wine spent 19 months in Frech oak barriques with 60 % new barrels.
Sweet mulberry and violet fruit with earthy forest floor and spicy notes on the nose. Maturation has smoothed the palate to a velvety texture while the firm backbone of the Cabernet gives it a lovely black berry finish. This wane was matured in our cellars for 15 years and is now drinking beautifully.

Tiara 2015
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 blanch 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.
