Description of their own wines
"We produce a wide range of wines under the Simonsig label, including whites, reds, sparkling, and sweet wines. Stellenbosch is the main wine region of South Africa, and we remain true to the terroir. The decomposed granite and shale soils produce perfumed wines with good structure."
