Plaisir Wine Estate
Established by the French Huguenots in 1693 on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains between Paarl and Franschhoek, Plaisir Wine Estate is a rare gem. This 974-hectare estate in Simonsberg-Paarl has earned international acclaim for its white and red wines. About 230 hectares are planted with a variety of noble grape cultivars such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. Winemaker Fred Fismer attributes producing award-winning wines to being able to work with great fruit coming from a very unique terrain and the invaluable input from his viticulture team.
Description
Colour: Ruby Garnett. Bouquet: Aromatic nose with black cherry fruit and hints of spice and vanilla and oak. Taste: Full-bodied, yet elegant and mature. This is a fruitdominated wine with blackberries, cassis, white chocolate followed by some cigar box and light pencil shavings. Subtle tannins linger with sweet red berry fruit on the finish.
Food Pairing
Very versatile, this wine is made for hearty food and would best complement all red meat or mushroom dishes.
