Description
This Chardonnay from Stellenbosch offers a fresh, elegant profile with tropical fruit, white peach, and citrus aromas. Fermented coolly to preserve its pure fruit character, it has a crisp, complex taste with no malolactic fermentation or oak aging. Best enjoyed within two years, it pairs well with oysters, creamy seafood pasta, poached crayfish, goat cheese salads, grilled chicken, or as an aperitif.
Producer Profile
Founded in 1688 by Frenchman Jacques Malan, Simonsig has always stood out in South Africa’s rich landscape of wineries. Indeed, thanks to the family’s incomparable winemaking experience and tradition, Simonsig-branded wines have always been considered benchmarks for the region, often proving to be innovative. When people talk about Simonsig, they also talk about the history of Méthode Cap Classique, which is the South African classic method first produced by the Stellenbosch winery itself. The year was 1971.
