As winter settles in – fires lit, scarves out – we’re reminded of the comfort this season brings. June at Simonsig brings time to celebrate father figures, enjoy a long weekend, and raise a glass to Chenin Blanc Month, a cultivar close to our hearts that’s all about bringing the sunshine.
Looking ahead, our much-loved Vintage Day returns this July, and ticket sales are now live. We’ve set the scene for a soulful, heartwarming celebration.
If you’re in the Western Cape (or headed our way), come warm up by the fireplaces in our tasting room. We’d love to welcome you with a glass in hand and that signature Simonsig hospitality.
Raise a glass to Dad
This upcoming Father’s Day, we are toasting to all father figures with a glass of Frans Malan Cape Blend in hand. A blend of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this expressive red is a tribute to founder and patriarch Frans Malan and three generations of winemaking fathers at Simonsig. It’s the perfect gift or a bold sip to share together.
Available for R295 per bottle / R1 770 per case
