Simonsig Merindol Syrah / Shiraz 2020 (Diners)

With the 3rd generation Malan family at the helm of this abundant Stellenbosch farm, Simonsig is a proud wine producer underpinned by Cape hospitality and driven by strong family values. The Simonsig Merindol Syrah / Shiraz 2020 is oak-matured from a selected single vineyard site, paying homage to the ancestral home of the Malan family. The nose offers the scent of spiced red cherries that intertwine seamlessly with the delicate sweetness of raspberry cordial. These vibrant fruit notes are further elevated with a whisper of violets. The palate is graced with a harmonious balance between red cherry and luscious blackberry. This fruit-forward profile is deepened by the presence of liquorice, adding a subtle yet distinct element. The texture of this red wine is a true delight, with soft, round, juicy tannins. These provide a gentle structure, supporting the flavours without overpowering them. The wine's vivacity is underscored by a lively acidity that imparts a refreshing vibrancy.
