{"product_id":"simonsig-kaapse-vonkel-brut-2019","title":"Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of South Africa’s sparkling wine story stands Simonsig Wine Estate in the Stellenbosch region - the birthplace of Kaapse Vonkel, the country’s first traditional-method sparkling wine launched by Frans Malan in 1971. The estate’s Cap Classique range honours this legacy, combining classic Champagne varietals with Cape terroir finesse. Grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed to capture pure juice, with fermentation in stainless steel and a portion of Chardonnay in older French oak for added complexity. After secondary bottle fermentation and extended lees aging, this wine expresses both heritage and precision, balancing freshness with layered fruit and subtle autolytic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1944\"\u003eColour: Pale golden straw with a fine, persistent mousse that signals lively effervescence and clarity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2153\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2153\"\u003eNose: Crisp aromas of fresh apple, white peach and citrus blossom lead, joined by delicate hints of ripe pear and subtle brioche-like complexity from bottle aging. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003ePalate: The palate is vibrant and refined, driven by vibrant lemon and orchard fruit with gentle stone fruit accents.
