Simonsig Needless to Say Rosé

With its fruity freshness and elegant character, the Simonsig Needless to Say Rosé brings South African joie de vivre to your glass. This cuvée of Chenin Blanc and Pinotage hails from the Coastal Region and combines the lively fruitiness of Chenin Blanc with the aromatic expressiveness of Pinotage. The result is a dry rosé that harmoniously combines lightness with a clear, precise structure.

For production, the grapes are hand-harvested and initially vinified separately to preserve the individual characteristics of each lot. After crushing, the juice is gently pressed from the grape skins. The selected musts then ferment slowly with cultured yeasts under temperature-controlled conditions at 12–14 °C. This gentle vinification helps preserve the fresh fruit aromas and the delicate structure.

A delicate pale pink characterizes its appearance. On the nose, aromas of freshly picked strawberries, fragrant rose petals, ripe quince, and a hint of citrus zest unfold. On the palate, the rosé is lively and refreshing: juicy red berry fruit and subtle floral nuances are complemented by precise, invigorating acidity. The finish is clean, lingering, and pleasantly dry.

Culinary-wise, the Needless to Say Rosé is exceptionally versatile. It pairs just as well with seafood pasta as it does with light salads featuring salmon or sushi. Its fresh acidity also provides a lovely balance to aromatic, spicy Thai dishes. Served well-chilled, it also makes an excellent aperitif.

Simonsig Pick of the Bunch Pinotage
The Simonsig Pick of the Bunch Pinotage has a dark red color. The aromas of sweet red fruits and cherries are dominant and captivating from the start. The grand finale then features notes of blackcurrant and velvety, silky tannins.Frans Malan, the founder of Simonsig Estate, presented his estate's first red wine in 1970 with a Pinotage. It is deliberately not aged in wood in order to emphasize the fruitiness and bring out the raspberry notes. Our recommendation: Enjoy the wine four to eight years after the harvest. Pinotage has a wonderful ageing potential. Your patience will pay off! The wine is a wonderful accompaniment to grilled food or ideal with Indian cuisine.

Simonsig Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc
High-altitude vineyards and the cooling sea breeze from False Bay create ideal conditions in Stellenbosch for the Simonsig Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes for this single-varietal white wine benefit from the comparatively cool growing conditions in the estate’s highest-altitude vineyards. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it expresses the fresh, aromatic character of the grape variety with a distinctly South African flair.To preserve the variety’s typical aromas and natural freshness, the grapes are harvested in the cool early morning hours and processed as reductively as possible throughout the winemaking process. For selected batches, a limited maceration period is used to enhance fruit intensity without compromising acidity. After gentle pressing and careful pre-clarification, the must ferments slowly with selected yeasts under temperature-controlled conditions at 12–14 °C.The nose reveals a fruity bouquet of guava, melon, and Cape gooseberries. On the palate, delicate notes of fig and grapefruit complement the juicy fruit profile. The lively acidity lends the Sauvignon Blanc an invigorating freshness and leads to a harmonious, balanced finish.Whether as an aperitif on warm days or as a pairing with a meal—this Sauvignon Blanc is incredibly versatile. It pairs particularly well with fresh salads, goat cheese, and fish dishes with lemon. Its fresh acidity also creates an appealing contrast with aromatic Thai dishes as well as heartier meals. Best served at 8–10 °C.
