Frans Malan, the founder of Simonsig, became the first producer of Cap Classique in South Africa when he pioneered Kaapse Vonkel in 1971. In celebration of 50 years of Kaapse Vonkel, the iconic Satin Nectar packaging was introduced in 2021, featuring bright colors and indigenous flowers. Satin Nectar is the sweeter companion of the Kaapse Vonkel Brut.

in the vineyard : Stellenbosch’s 2022/2023 season began with mild and dry conditions. While these drier conditions limited berry mass and subsequently reduced yields, they also ensured outstanding quality. The cool ripening period benefited early cultivars, resulting in the preparation of high-quality wines during this time

about the harvest: All the grapes are handpicked into bins.

in the cellar : The whole bunches are gently pressed in pneumatic presses to collect the purest juice, known as cuvée. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C with specially selected yeast strains to ensure optimal fruitiness and freshness in the wine. This Cap Classique is bottle- fermented and aged on the lees for at least 12 months prior to disgorgement. During disgorgement, a larger volume of dosage is added to ensure a perfectly balanced Demi- Sec Cap Classique.
