Description
A masterful expression of Stellenbosch Pinotage, the Simonsig Redhill 2021 reveals a deep ruby core that hints at its intensity and finesse. Aromas of wild berries, cinnamon spice, and toasted cedar unfold on the nose, accented by whispers of liquorice and earthy intrigue. The palate is bold yet balanced—bursting with juicy raspberry, bramble, and red cherry, anchored by lively acidity and supple tannins. Elegant and layered, this flagship Pinotage offers richness, depth, and the velvety finish that discerning wine lovers seek.
Crafted from low-yield bush vines rooted in iconic red Tukulu soils, this Pinotage reflects its unique terroir. Handpicked, sorted with care, and partially whole-bunch fermented, it was gently macerated and aged for 19 months in French oak—75% new, 25% second-fill. Every step was taken to capture purity, perfume, and plush structure in this flagship Stellenbosch expression.
