Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar Rosé 2020

A vibrant Demi Sec Cap Classique with a light golden hue and elegant, persistent mousse. On the nose, aromas of sun ripe apple and peaches are followed by layers of tropical fruits. A luscious palate of mango and canned peaches with hints of lemon cream biscuits. Beautiful acidity contributes to a perfectly balanced Demi Sec Cap Classique, making every occasion a memorable one.

Pair it with ripe full cream cheeses like Camembert and Brie or Blue Cheese. It also works well with fruity desserts made from orange, lemon and mango, or with a hazelnut praline.

Frans Malan, the founder of Simonsig, was the first producer of Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa, when he pioneered Kaapse Vonkel in 1971.

about the harvest: All the grapes were handpicked in bins.

in the cellar :

The whole bunches are gently pressed in pneumatic presses to collect the purest juice, named cuvée. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C with specially selected yeast strains to ensure optimum fruit and freshness in the wine. This Cap Classique is bottle fermented and aged on the lees for 15 months prior to disgorgement. During disgorgement, a larger volume of dosage is added to ensure a perfectly balanced Demi-Sec Cap Classique.
