Simonsig Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2026

Simonsig Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2026 is a dry, fruit-forward white that highlights the freshness and versatility of South Africa’s signature white grape. From the historic Simonsig estate, it combines expressive Stellenbosch fruit with a subtle touch of oak.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, it opens with citrus blossom and lemon tart aromas, followed by peach, tropical fruit and hints of nuttiness. The palate is lively and well balanced, with white peach, gooseberry and dried-fruit flavours, while bright acidity keeps the finish fresh.

Production
The Chenin Blanc comes from Stellenbosch vineyards rooted in soils that include granite, sandstone and shale, which contribute aromatic detail and a mineral edge. The grapes are made into a dry white wine, with carefully judged oak use adding depth and a gentle spicy note without obscuring the fruit. Harvesting methods and specific cellar details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C with grilled fish, roast chicken, fresh salads or mildly spiced dishes. Its citrus and peach flavours also suit soft cheeses. Decanting is not necessary; opening the bottle shortly before serving is sufficient.

Producer
Simonsig is a family-owned Stellenbosch estate associated with the Malan family and a long heritage in South African wine. Founded by Frans Malan in 1968, the winery helped shape the country’s sparkling-wine tradition, producing South Africa’s first Méthode Cap Classique in 1971. Its wines have become well-known ambassadors for the Stellenbosch region.
