Simonsig's harvest wrap-up, Easter celebrations and perfect pairings

Monday, 7 April, 2025
Simonsig Family Vineyards
Simonsig Family Vineyards wraps up their 2025 harvest and shares what's in store on the farm this Easter.

Just like that, another harvest season at Simonsig Famliy Vineyards has come to a close! We officially wrapped up on Friday with the last of our Cabernet Sauvignon coming in – Caber-yay! It’s been an intense 11 weeks, and we couldn’t be prouder of our vineyard and cellar team, who have worked tirelessly to turn this vintage into something truly special.

Speaking of exciting news… The very first wines of the 2025 vintage have already been bottled! Keep an eye out later this month as the Woolworths Chenin Blanc Pinotage Rosé and the long-awaited Jamala Gewürztraminer hit the shelves.

With the change of season, we're shifting gears towards Easter celebrations. Join us at the Simonsig Tasting Room for a fun-filled Easter Saturday with the whole family, and don’t miss our specially curated Easter wine pairing guide – because great wine makes every celebration better!
