Description
The NV Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rosé is a vibrant Cap Classique from Stellenbosch with a pale coral hue and an elegant, persistent mousse. On the nose, it delights with aromas of wild strawberries, cranberries, and field flowers, complemented by hints of shortcrust pastry. The palate bursts with flavors of raspberry sorbet, red apples, and cherries, balanced by crisp acidity for a refreshing finish.
This versatile rosé pairs beautifully with seafood, such as West Coast rock lobster, salmon, or light desserts like fresh berries and fruit tarts. Perfect for any special occasion.
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.
