| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

SIMONSIG |
| Medium straw colour. Gently complex, gently toasty, ripe lemon-melon-apple nose - quite Champagne like! Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, ripe lemon-melon-apple flavours with a lingering, gently complex, crisp (total acidity 7.5 g/L), slightly toasty finish and fine effervescence. This blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 46% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Meunier offers great value for Champagne fans. Made in the tradition method - MCC or Methode Cap Classique. Has 12.5% alcohol and 9 g/L residual sugar with lot number L44000 on the back label. Similar to the recommended best buy 2011 (**/**+) released on December 7, 2013 at $19.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Absolutely stunning South African sparkling wine for the money! Toasty, complex and refreshing. Aromas of baked bread and green apple. Wow. Finishes with white peach. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with fresh shellfish. Pair with: sourdough toasts with mushrooms and oysters. Drink: 2013-2016. Score - 90 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Dec. 2014) |
