The Uys family acquired the Estate, originally
called Houmoed, in 1962. Of the 110 hectares, 80
hectares are planted under vines. The farm is
situated against the Bottelary Hills outside
Stellenbosch and the altitude of the vineyards
varies between 170 and 370 metres above sea
level. Winemaker Marinus Bredell was appointed
in 1997 and the first wines under the Fort Simon
label were released in 1998.
The vineyards
Merlot and Pinotage grapes came from North East
and West facing slopes.
The winemaking
The grapes were hand picked from selected
blocks of vineyards under the coolest possible
circumstances and carefully transported to the
cellar. Only the first 200 oe’s per ton of the free
run juice was carefully separated from the skins
and was fermented in stainless steel tanks to total
dryness
Winemaker’s comments
Bright red garnet in colour, with a fresh fruity,
raspberry bouquet upfront. Crisp on the palate,
with a well balanced acidity that enhances the
berry-like flavours with a star-toffee like
aftertaste. Superb with fish, poultry and salads. |
