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: Pale straw colour with long beady mouse. Bouquet: The fine persistent mouse releases wild rose nuants with fresh white pear and granny smith apples. Taste: That foamy mouthfeel leaves delicate notes of hazelnut cream, stonefruit and citrus which comes from the Chardonnay while the backbone and body comes from the Pinot Noir Red cherries.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with oysters, scallops and seafood platters. Stars well on its own when served chilled and will add pleasure and enjoyment to any occasion.
