Winemaking is an ancient craft, yet it consistently tells a tale of reinvention and manages to maintain its allure in contemporary society. Imbued with intrigue, wine’s life force depends on winemakers with an adventurous vinous spirit and the pioneering nerve to chart new paths to ensure that wine continues to spark curiosity. These character traits are entrenched in the DNA of the Malan family of Simonsig Family Vineyards.

Simonsig Wine Estate has ushered in a new area for Chenin Blanc with the unveiling of The Langbult Steen Chenin Blanc 2022 – their first wine to gain Old Vine status.

This award-winning barrel-fermented Chenin Blanc, formerly known as Simonsig Chenin Avec Chêne, is a single vineyard Chenin Blanc that has been renamed and given a refreshed look to commemorate this historic milestone in the wine’s evolution.
