Plaisir Wine Estate

Colour: Glossy Garnet colour with a deep plum centre. Bouquet: Aromatic red berries, mulberry and plums, with cedar and subtle aroma of dried herbs. Taste: The blend finds focus early as it enters the palate with incredible purity and plushness. Flavours of ripe cherry, blueberry, ripe plum skin and apricots. Sumptuous and full there is a pleasant hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to poised, firm and velvety tannins on the finish.

Grapes were sourced from the diverse soils, slopes and elevations that all add to the quality of the Plaisir grapes. Well-drained weathered granite soils (predominantly Tukulu and Hutton) with good water retention allow minimal interference in irrigation with most vineyards being dry land. The grapes were sourced from the Plaisir Wine Estate vineyards in Simondium. The vines, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years, are situated between 230m and 350m above sea-level on the south-eastern slopes of the Simonsberg.

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.
