In 1971, with Kaapse Vonkel, Frans Malan - the founder of the Simonsig wine estate - became the first producer of Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa.
This Blanc de Blancs from Simonsig has a pale straw color and an exceptionally fine perlage. Lemon and lime blossom aromas are complemented by hazelnut, apple and freshly baked bread flavors. A delicate and firm palate accentuates these aromas and offers additional minerality and complexity. The splendid acidity of this South African classic method lends extraordinary length to this prestigious cuvée.
Food pairings: Excellent on its own, it pairs perfectly with all seafood dishes , with red fruit salads or any other light dessert .
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Cap: Cork
