Simonsig has outdone itself once again. Hailing from the world famous Stellenbosch wine region in South Africa, this beautiful wine takes advantage of the fresh sea air of the coast close to where the winery is located imparting a distinct mediterranean flavor to the wine.
Boasting medium golds that change to yellow hues in different lights, this exquisite wine promotes fresh fruits such as apple and pears as well as a variety of citrus fruits on the nose. It is a bold wine, but not overpoweringly so. It is remarkably well balanced regarding acidity and body. While the finish is not complicated, it is long and will transport the drinker to mediterranean beach fronts with freshly grilled seafood for dinner.
This wine works rather well with seafood. Whether it be served fresh or heavily grilled, the Simonsig Mediterraneo will complement the dish perfectly. Try grilling some freshly caught squid and serving it with grilled peppers and eggplant.
Store your unopened bottle in a cool, dry, and dark place safe from constant vibration. Keep your bottle horizontal in a wine rack or cellar to retain the moistness of the cork. The ideal temperature for storage is between 7 to 15°C. Once opened, a bottle will be good for 3 to 5 days standing upright in the refrigerator.
