Simonsig Chenin Blanc is a dry white wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes grown in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa. The wine is fermented in stainless steel (unoaked) to preserve its fresh fruit character. A cornerstone of the Simonsig portfolio, this wine reflects both the warm sunlight and cool growing conditions of the region, delivering lively, refreshing expression.
