Simonsig

Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc and Shiraz from South Africa's Coastal Region.

Simonsig operates in Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region, where maritime influence and diverse soils create conditions for both classical and distinctive winemaking. The winery's portfolio centers on two principal expressions: Chenin Blanc and Shiraz, varieties that thrive in the region's temperate climate. The Cape Winemakers Guild Die Dop Chenin Blanc demonstrates the grape's mineral precision and complexity in this terroir, while the Cape Winemakers Guild Heirloom Shiraz and Cape Winemakers Guild Auction Reserve Shiraz showcase the darker fruit and structural depth that Stellenbosch Shiraz can achieve. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Falstaff, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting their standing within the international critical framework. Simonsig's focus on these core varieties reflects both the region's strengths and a commitment to expression through single-varietal work.
