Simonsig
Simonsig is situated North West of Stellenbosch, the acknowledged prime wine growing area of South Africa. Ideal maritime conditions and cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean create conditions perfect for the cultivation of grapes. These, in the hands of the dedicated Malan brothers, are turned into Simonsig Estate wines, each reflecting the family tradition of excellence in winemaking.
