Why we like it

Tiara is the ultimate expression of Simonsig's Bordeaux style. It comes from a rigorous selection of the best grapes from the estate and combines elegance, structure, and extraordinary aging potential, while always maintaining balance and precision.

Wine profile

The bouquet opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, and ripe red fruits, accompanied by sweet spices, dark chocolate, and light balsamic and earthy notes. On the palate, it is intense and refined, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long finish that reveals fruit, spice, and minerality.

Simonsig's signature

Produced only in the best vintages, Tiara represents the pinnacle of Simonsig's production. It is a Bordeaux Blend designed to express the potential of Stellenbosch and to evolve elegantly over the years.

Origin

Wine of Origin Stellenbosch, South Africa.

In the vineyard

The grapes come from selected Stellenbosch vineyards cultivated for low yields and maximum aromatic concentration. The blend consists predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, varieties that are matured separately to preserve their characteristics and contribute to the wine's final complexity.

In the cellar

The grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected both in the vineyard and in the cellar. After a two-day cold maceration, each variety was vinified separately with calibrated pump-overs and punch-downs. Malolactic fermentation took place in barriques, followed by an initial eight-month aging period. After final blending, the wine matured for another twelve months in French oak, for a total of 20 months (65% new barrels, 20% second passage, and 15% third passage).
