seize the opportunity to explore rare vintage gems at special Master Classes at
Simonsig’s Vintage Wine Day on Saturday, 24 August, when this landmark
Stellenbosch estate showcases a fine selection of older signature wines held
back for release at optimal maturity.
Cellarmaster
Johan Malan and Winemaker Debbie Thompson will be hosting two Master Classes of
vintages dating back to the early 90's – one of the highlights of their
inaugural Vintage Wine Day. The Vintage Master Classes are offered free of
charge exclusively to festival goers. Taste key vintages of the Cape blend,
Frans Malan Reserve, award winning Redhill Pinotage, Merindol Syrah and the
Bordeaux style Tiara. These classes will offer interactive vertical wine
tastings and will start at 11h00 and 14h00. Only a limited amount of Master
Class seats are available, for reservations email info@dnaevents.co.za.
If you prefer
a more informal wine experience, there will be plenty of opportunity to taste
and buy from a wide selection of Simonsig greats which will be available
exclusively at the Simonsig Vintage Wine Day. Other yesteryear wine heroes
available on the day include older vintages of Simonsig Pinotage, Simonsig
Cabernet Sauvignon and Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Méthode Cap Classique. As an
added bonus, these rare wines will be available at special prices for this day
only.
With plenty
of food and activities for the kids lined up, there will be something for the
whole family. Tickets to the Simonsig Vintage Wine Day are available at the
Simonsig tasting room or online at Webtickets at R150 per person. The Vintage
Wine Day will be held in the Simonsig tasting room with ample seating under
cover in the adjacent Bedouin tent.
