Simonsig Needless to Say Rose 2025

R100,00

Needless to say, the blend of Chenin Blanc and Pinotage was a natural choice for this rosé. As the first white and red wines released by Simonsig, this blend tells a beautiful story of our rich winemaking heritage.

This delicate rosé blend displays a beautiful light pink hue that captures the eye and hints at the freshness within. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe summer fruits, including strawberried, and red currants, intertwined with subtle floral aromas that add elegance and charm. The palate is finely balanced, juicy, and vibrant, with mouthwatering acidity that enlivens the senses and enhances the fruit-forward character. Its refreshing, lingering finish leaves a delightful impression, inviting you to savour each sip and enjoy another glass.

In the cellar

All grapes were meticulously handpicked and crushed separately to optimise blending potential and preserve the integrity of each parcel. The juice was gently pressed from the skins, with the clear juice carefully separate to ensure purity and finesse. It was inoculated with specially selected yeast strains, and fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 12 - 14 degrees Celsius. This slow and precise fermentation allowed the development of fresh, vibrant fruity flavours while maintaining the wine's delicate structure and aromatic complexity.

In the vineyard

The 2025 harvest began two weeks earlier than the previous year, with Pinotage showing notably higher yields. Warm, dry weather and the absence of any heat waves allowed for steady, balancing ripening. Overall. the 2025 proved to be an exceptional vintage, with grapes exhibiting excellent sugar and acidity levels. The dry, cool conditions throughout harvest ensured that the fruit remained healthy and of outstanding quality.

Cultivar

63% Chenin Blanc; 37% Pinotage Rose
