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 blush pink. Bouquet: The fine persistent mousse displays aromas of pear, Granny Smith apples, citrus and light yeasty notes with a hint of a red berry character. Taste: A foamy mouth-feel with delicate toasty notes. The Chardonnay imparts citrus, stone fruit and tropical nuances whilst the Pinot Noir provides notes of sweet glazed red cherries. It has a long, lingering, crisp, fresh finish.
Food Pairing
Salmon confit or grilled lobster tail with lemon and tarragon butter sauce.
