Heritage
The first red wine released by Simonsig in 1970 was a Pinotage. Pinotage is a crossing of
Pinot Noir and Cinsaut made by Professor A.I. Perold in 1924. This Pinotage is unwooded
and the aim is to accentuate the raspberry fruitiness of the Pinotage grape unobscured by
the wood. Our best Pinotage is grown on weathered shale soils which makes deliciously
perfumed Pinotage.
Cellaring PotentialEnjoy this wine 4 to 8 years after vintage date. It can, however, last much longer and yourpatience will be richly rewarded.Serving SuggestionsSeared tuna, savoury Indian cuisine, Cuban cuisine, South African bobotie and braai.
