A star is born! The Satin Nectar Rosé has joined Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel range in July 2019.

in the vineyard : Good winter rainfall in 2021 resulted in good soil water levels and plenty of available water for grapevines. A late and prolonged winter resulted in a late start to the season. Furthermore, Stellenbosch experienced consistently cooler weather conditions throughout the season. Some rainfall during the spring and early summer months required meticulous vineyard management to prevent fungal disease. A good number of flowering bunches showed good promise early in the season. Relatively cool conditions during December and January were very favourable and resulted in slow and gradual ripening, allowing for exceptional flavour concentration in the Cap Classique grapes with good acidity and low pH levels. A very good Cap Classique vintage showcasing elegance and finesse.

about the harvest: All the grapes are handpicked in bins. The whole bunches are gently pressed in pneumatic presses to collect the purest juice, named the cuvée.

in the cellar : The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 14-16°C with specially selected yeast strains to ensure optimum fruit and freshness in the wine. This MCC 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.
