Simonsig Wine Estate
Alcohol in Stellenbosch

Since French Huguenot Jacques Malan first set foot in the Cape in 1688, the Malan family’s wine knowledge accumulated over many generations. The late Frans Malan, beloved patriarch of the Malan Family and one of the pioneers of the South African wine industry, was not only a craftsman of superior wines, but also introduced groundbreaking innovations including co-finding the Stellenbosch Wine Route and producing South Africa’s first Méthode Cap Classique, a bottle fermented sparkling wine made in the style of French champagne. At Simonsig, the Malan family values drive the Estate’s commitment to producing wines of internationally regarded excellence, expressing the unique and diverse terroir of the Stellenbosch region. We also believe that being a gift of nature made for the enjoyment of people, our wine offering should always be complemented by true Cape hospitality and efficient service. Committed to the well-being of our people, Simonsig offers various mentorship and leadership programs to its staff and their children, as well as an on-site crèche and aftercare facility managed in association with the Anna Foundation. As a proud family-owned and managed Wine Estate, we view every employee as part of the Simonsig family. For three generations, Simonsig Wine Estate has been devoted to producing terroir-driven wines that express the unique character of Stellenbosch. The wines of Simonsig are a must if you’re a connoisseur of delicious affordable varietal wines. This is a family run business rather than a corporate giant and it’s evident the moment you set foot on their beautiful property- they take time to answer questions as you taste your way through the day. What stuck me most when visiting Simonsig, was their emphasis on their family and their history. Large information boards outside tell the story of the farm, its wines and the people behind the art. Hired one of the private tasting rooms and had the most amazing time with Denzel and his staff. Always learn something new about wine in such a fun and pleasant setting. Experience a diverse range of authentic dishes using the freshest seasonal produce. Cuvée offers sincere hospitality and excellent cuisine prepared with a sustainable ethos enjoyed in a magnificent setting.
