Cap Classique refuses to be confined to just one season, making the return of brighter days and vineyards alive with new energy even more reason to celebrate.
Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar and Satin Nectar Rosé, the lively siblings of the iconic Kaapse Vonkel Brut, add their own sparkle to every gathering, dressed in bold designs and vibrant colours inspired by the Cape Floral Kingdom.
Five years after the distinctive floral design wrapping around the entire bottle was first introduced, the time felt right for a fresh expression. The new, vibrant designs remain unmistakably Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar and Satin Nectar Rosé, retaining the bold floral motives that has become part of its identity, but with a refreshed look intended to carry the range forward for years to come.
And, to mark its introduction, there is an extra surprise for a limited time. From 1 September to 30 December 2026, these demi-sec style Cap Classiques will feature a temperature-sensitive label that reveals something more when properly chilled.
This time, quite literally, it is all about YOU!
For a limited time, these two demi-sec Cap Classiques will feature interactive labels that unveil a secret message when chilled to 8°C or below. Pop a bottle in the fridge or slip it into an ice bucket, whether you are celebrating with someone special or the mood strikes for a spontaneous toast, and watch as the label reveals one of three messages:
Vonkel time. Cheers darling. Celebrating you.
As the year winds down, a little encouragement goes a long way. The road to December is often less about impromptu parties and more about racing deadlines, tying up the final threads of year-long projects and, on some days, simply getting through a long week as energy starts to run low.
These limited-edition labels are Simonsig’s cheerful reminder to still make time to pause and toast what really counts: time together, friendship, the small victories, or simply telling yourself, “You did well. You’ve got this.”
Inside, nothing has changed, and demi-sec devotees can expect the same sweet-tangy deliciousness and lively bubbles they fell in love with. Both limited releases contain the same trusted Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar and Satin Nectar Rosé Cap Classique that consumers already know.
Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar continues the classic partnership of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bringing together bright citrus and red-fruit expression with floral delicacy, fine bubbles and that delicious tension between freshness and demi-sec generosity. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, preserving the delicate nuances and precision that define the final wine.
Its blushing counterpart, Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar Rosé, combines Pinot Noir and Pinotage – a particularly South African take on celebration. Generous red-fruit flavours are balanced by freshness, delicate bubbles and a creamy, almost nougat-like richness that makes the wine indulgent without losing its poise.
These wines may be dressed to turn heads this season, but their spirit is still pure Kaapse Vonkel. After all, Cap Classique does not need a milestone, a speech or a grand occasion to be chilled. This time, the magic is in the message waiting just for you.
The limited-edition Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar and Satin Nectar Rosé labels will be available from 1 September to 30 December 2026 at Shoprite/Checkers, TOPS at SPAR and Pick n Pay, while stocks last.
