Simonsig sparkles at 2010 Veritas

Simonsig Estate has triumphed at the 2010 Veritas awards with a hat trick of double gold awards, including the only two double gold medals awarded for Méthode Cap Classique this year.

Simonsig’s Cap Classique double gold glory is shared by the flagship Cuvée Royale 2005 Blanc de Blanc and the 2006 vintage of the illustrious Kaapse Vonkel – the country’s first French-inspired, bottle fermented sparkling wine produced by the late Frans Malan almost 40 years ago.

The 3^rd Simonsig Veritas double gold medal was awarded to The SMV Shiraz/Mourvèdre/Viognier 2008 – a delicious Shiraz-driven red blend.

The two Veritas gold medals went to the ever popular unwooded Simonsig Chenin Blanc 2010 and the highly acclaimed Simonsig Red Hill Pinotage 2008.

* Uitkyk se wyne en potketel-brandewyn, ewe elegant, grasieus en onderbeklemtoon as sy historiese opstal van 1788 deur die vermaarde Franse argitek Louis Michel Thibault, het groot indruk op vanjaar se Veritas-beoordelaars gemaak en met drie goue medaljes weggestap.

Die drietal goues was vir sowel die 2009- as die 2010-oesjaar van die Simonsberg-landgoed se Sauvignon Blanc, wat in die tropiese styl gemaak is, en vir die beleë maar steeds baie lewendige 2001 Carlonet, ’n klassieke Suid-Afrikaanse cabernet sauvignon.
