SimonsigChenin Avec Chêne 2018 (R166.50 Per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

Simonsig Wine Estate is synonymous with the history of the South African wine industry, the Stellenbosch wine region, and the Malan family name. These elements are intertwined in this family-owned farm, where the late Frans Malan produced the first bottle of our much-loved Kaapse Vonkel, South Africaʼs first Méthode Cap Classique made in the classic bottle-fermented style. He is also honoured for co-founding the thriving Stellenbosch Wine Route, a first in its time.

Product Features

• This Chenin blanc displays a light golden hue.
• On the nose, citrus blossom, dried peach and a hint of honey and nuts entice. Layers of white peach, citrus and dried fruit coat the palate.
• Well-structured with hints of oak, fresh acidity and a long lingering aftertaste.
• Wood Maturation: 11 months oaking. Combination of new and older 225L and 400L seasoned French oak barrels.
• Cellaring Potential: At its best within 3 – 4 years of vintage date.
• Serving Suggestions: This is a true gastronomic wine and works wonderfully with plainly grilled fish or chicken to piquant ripe creamy cheeses like Epoisse or Dalewood Winelands Camembert. Do not overchill – serve at 14 – 16°C
