Chenin Blanc
Simonsig Chenin Blanc was the first wine released by founder Frans Malan in 1968.
Tasting Notes
This Chenin Blanc opens with lifted aromatics, showcasing a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, crisp green apple and a hint of yellow peach and transitions seamlessly into tropical notes of passion fruit and candied pineapple, adding a delightful sweetness to the mid-palate. Despite its lively acidity, the wine maintains a creamy texture that elegantly coats the mouth, providing a balanced and harmonious finish.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 growing season will be remembered for many reasons. Excellent winter conditions were followed by a historic storm with gale-force winds and torrential rain at the start of the season. Subsequently, a prolonged warm and dry period led to the smallest harvest in two decades in the Cape Winelands due to small berries and low bunch weights. The quality of the 2024 vintage will be memorable for years to come.
