Did you know: children in elementary school were served diluted wine with their lunch. This practice stemmed from the view that wine was a safer and healthier alternative to contaminated water sources at the time. After 1956 wine was only allowed for high school students, and by 1981 alcohol was banned from french schools entirely.

Born in 1945 from a collective dream, Simonsvlei honors Simon van der Stel's vision and the rich wetlands. Our Simonsvlei wines continue to celebrate this heritage with every bottle, as we grow stronger into a modern brand in today’s world. We want you to be part of this journey by tasting & exploring our vision for the future - welcome to the Simonsvlei Family 🙏

In the wake of the Second World War, a group of visionary wine farmers, their hearts tethered to the winemaking traditions introduced by the Huguenot families, embarked on a daring quest. United in purpose, they set out to provide their fellow farmers with the means to produce wines of quality on a grand and sustainable scale. Their collective effort gave birth to Simonsvlei in the year 1945.

But why “Simonsvlei,” you may ask? Well, dear readers, this name pays homage to none other than Simon van der Stel, the founding father of the South African wine industry, and the vlei, or wetlands, that graced the surrounding landscape.

Picture it,
if you will… a 17th-century Simon van der Stel, the Cape’s Governor on behalf of the Dutch government, selecting this very spot with a discerning eye.

He saw in it the potential for greatness, thanks to its cool microclimate, perfectly suited for nurturing the finest grapevines.

And let us not forget the prevailing winds, whispered by the vlei, which naturally cooled the cellars and the wines in their barrels, creating a haven for crafting wines of unparalleled excellence.

THAT is where Simonsvlei Wines began…

The Simonsvlei way - We all have insecurities & doubts, which doesnt look good, but confidence makes us beautiful and it comes from accepting yourself. The moment we accept ourselves- it makes everything beautiful 🤍

In June we celebrate Rosé. Rosé is believed to originate in ancient Greece, but it was only until
grapes were brough from Greece to Marseille in the South of France that led to the wine’s widespread popularity around the world.
Rosé wine is a delightful middle ground between red and white wine, often made from red grape
varieties. The grapes are crushed and left in contact with the skins for a short period to achieve the
desired pink color. Then the skins are removed, and the fermentation process continues.

WINE MAKER - HELENA SENEKAL
The 2024 harvest season was a test of
the South African wine industry’s
resilience. With an estimated 7%
decrease from 2023. Despite facing
diverse and demanding climatic
events, from frost and heavy winter
rainfall to floods and wind, the
industry transformed this harvest into
one of the most remarkable (SAWIS).

Rosé pairs well with a wide range
of cheeses from soft and creamy
Brie of salty feta. The slight
sweeter pairs well with Thai or
Indian curries.

Did you know: Ja Mocha Pinotage 2021 is a full bodied Pinotage with a very strong mocha(coffee) flavour and smell.

“Our new generation wines are very popular, and we have used a very interesting technique. Some may believe that we have put flavouring to our wines but believe it or not these flavours come from using an overdose of a mix between French and American oak while making this lovely wine.”

Ja Mocha me crazy! Order your special wines that will impress or even be a great gift for any occasion on our website www.simonsvlei.com
