<p>Simonsig Langbult Steen, meaning “long hill Chenin Blanc,” is a testament to three generations of the Malan family’s dedication to their land. Sourced from gnarly old vines with deep roots in ancient, weathered shale soils, this wine reflects a true sense of place. The combination of meticulous vineyard care and handcrafted winemaking results in a complex, layered Chenin Blanc with depth, texture, and refined elegance. Barrel fermentation enhances its richness, making it an age-worthy wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5 to 8 years, evolving beautifully over time.Simonsig Wine Estate is synonymous with the history of the South African wine industry, the Stellenbosch wine region, and the Malan family name.These elements are intertwined in this family-owned farm, where the late Frans Malan produced the first bottle of their much-loved Kaapse Vonkel, South Africaʼs first Méthode Cap Classique made in the classic bottle-fermented style. He is also honoured for co-founding the thriving Stellenbosch Wine Route, a first in its time. Today, his legacy lives on through his sons, Francois and Johan, and grandchildren Francois-Jacques, Christelle and Michael, the 2nd and 3rd Malan generations at Simonsig Wine Estate.Simonsig Langbult Steen 2024</p>
