The wine displays a star bright golden straw colour. This sunshine wine exudes scents of litchi’s and rose petals. Layers of Turkish delight and hints of honey coat the palate. The rich and complex layers of fruit are well balanced and it is the harmony between the elements of fruit, acidity and sweetness that make this wine a perfect companion for spicy Thai cuisine or can be enjoyed on its own.
Serve well chilled as a sundowner on a summer’s day. It’s definitely a good companion to Cape Malay boboties and smoked cheeses. Also splendid with cured Yellowtail and Asian coleslaw, or chicken and prawn curry with coconut milk.

ageing :
Enjoy when youthful and fresh, but it ages beautifully and gains superb complexity after 4 to 6 years.
BackgroundSimonsig Estate was the first cellar to release a Gewürztraminer in South Africa. First planted in 1973 Simonsig has built a highly successful track record. This grape variety is notoriously difficult to grow, with small bunches and extremely low yield which explains why there are only 122 hectares in South Africa. Its name is derived from Gewürz meaning spice in German and Tramin a town located in the Trentino Alto Adige region of Northern Italy.
