Vinification of Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar MCC
The vinification of Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel Satin Nectar MCC follows the rules of a clear, modern Cap Classique from a cool climate. The Western Cape region offers plenty of light, wind, and cool nights. The vines are located in Stellenbosch, where the soils are light and well-draining. The harvest is done by hand to ensure that only ripe and clean grapes enter the cellar. Selection is strict to guarantee pure fruit. The grapes are gently pressed. The must rests briefly to allow the aromas of pear, apple, and blossom to emerge. Fermentation takes place cool in stainless steel to preserve the fruit and the clear style. This is followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. This creates the fine effervescence that characterizes the wine. The long rest on the lees provides depth and a silky touch. Stainless steel tanks and tight control in the cellar ensure a pure aroma and a crisp character. The long finish stems from the fineness of the effervescence and the quiet maturation. After disgorging, the wine is carefully bottled and sealed with a champagne cork. Its designation as a W.O. Wine of Origin underscores the high ambition of the region.
