Simonsvlei undertakes never to compromise on quality, but to keep it as its prime consideration throughout all areas of activity, from the planting of the finest vineyard stock to maintaining impeccable standards with regard to bottling and hygiene.

Simonsvlei’s grapes are sourced from the region’s diverse terroir, resulting in complex wines layered with varietal characteristics. Soils vary from shale to clay and average production yields around 8 – 10 tons per hectare. The Mediterranean climate of the region, with cold/wet winters and hot/dry summers, results in berries with abundant fruit flavours and high sugar levels at harvest time.
Simonsvlei’s total production consists of about 9 000 metric tons of grapes delivered by 36 wine farms. Hectares under vine are approximately 1 000 and the main grape varietals are: Cabernet Sauvignon (184ha); Shiraz (115ha); Chenin Blanc (413ha) and Chardonnay (100ha).
