A Legacy of Excellence
Simonsig Wine Estate, nestled in the heart of the renowned Stellenbosch region, has been a beacon of excellence in the wine industry since its inception. Founded in 1971 by Frans Malan, Simonsig introduced South Africa to its first bottle-fermented sparkling wine, setting a precedent in innovation with the introduction of Kaapse Vonkel. Today, the estate is still family-owned and has carved a name for itself as a leader in producing exceptional Méthode Cap Classique wines.
The Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs
The Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs is the epitome of elegance, crafted through the traditional Champagne method, known locally as Méthode Cap Classique (MCC). The choice of Chardonnay grapes lends this wine a purity and finesse that stands out. After the primary fermentation in stainless steel, which aids in maintaining the wine’s freshness, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottles and is aged on its lees. This extended lees-aging process, lasting several years, imbues the wine with a complex creamy texture, accentuated by fine bubbles and notes of brioche and toasted nuts.
