Simonsig Tiara is a Bordeaux-style blend that stands as the pinnacle of each vintage, proudly holding its place as the estate’s flagship since its maiden release in the early 90s. Rooted in ancient, weathered shale soils, this wine exudes an exquisite, feminine elegance—true to its name. Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage, harmoniously adorned with carefully selected companion varietals, much like a tiara encrusted with diamonds. Crafted with deep respect for terroir, Tiara promises remarkable aging potential, rewarding patience with ever-evolving complexity and refinement over time.
Captivating aromas of luscious red and dark fruit tickle your senses. As you delve deeper, the allure of blackberry and black cherry emerges, entwining with each other. Subtle nuances of sweet baking spices that gently unfold, lending warmth and sophistication to this wonderfully complex wine. On the palate, the silky tannins caress your taste buds, carrying the essence of the aromas in perfect harmony. The red and dark fruit flavours come to life with an excellently balanced acidity. 20 months in French oak barrels: 54% 1st fill ; 38% 2nd fill and 8% 3rd fill.
