Product information "Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs 2017"
The Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs shines in a pale straw yellow in the glass. Only the best Chardonnay grapes grown on the best soils in Stellenbosch were used for this exceptional sparkling wine. A fresh scent of lemon blossom, apples and stone fruit rises to the nose, paired with the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread. On the palate, the Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs impresses with its extremely fine perlage and a beautiful acidity, which is surrounded by mineral tones, before the sparkling wine leaves with a long-lasting finish. The complex Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs was produced according to traditional methods, underwent the second fermentation in the bottle and was then given another three years to mature. Thanks to its complexity, this expressive sparkling wine turns every occasion into a special moment. Enjoy the Simonsig Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs on its own, but it is also a wonderful accompaniment to light dishes with seafood or fish.

Simonsig for the Wine Lover
Simonsig wine stands for exceptional quality and excites wine lovers worldwide. The winemakers apply laborious cultivation methods at the wine slopes and use modern cellar technology to produce the best wine possible. They also make sure that a Simonsig wine reflects its terroir as well as the taste that is typical for the grape variety.
Simonsig Located Ideally
The winery Simonsig is located 45 kilometres away from Cape Town and belongs to the region Stellenbosch. This area counts as one of South Africa's best wine regions according to many experts; no other region's yard produces as many premium wines as they do here. This is not surprising, as Stellenbosch and therefore vineyards such as Simonsig benefit from the ideal location. Soils are full of minerals and supply the vines with precious nutrients due to sufficient rainfall, whilst the breeze from the Atlantic makes for the required cooling.
Simonsig Wine Relies on its Winemakers
A true Simonsig wine only becomes possible with the expertise of the winemakers. This is why the yard attaches great importance to highly trained winemakers and wine growers, who accompany the cultivation and maturing process of the wine with much love and knowledge.
Biodiversity & Wine Initiative at Simonsig
In order to ensure a sustainable handling with nature, Simonsig is part of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative. The winery grows a range of different grape varieties to have a great spectrum of plants in the region and to use the natural resources optimally. This is another example of the winemakers' expertise, who succeed in combining the different grape varieties every year - and this of a constant high quality. Additionally, Simonsig is active in preservation of native plants such as the Fynbos.
