Plaisir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

R345.00

Region: Paarl

Tasting note:

Full-bodied, the wine displays blackberries, dark chocolate, cedar, sweet vanilla with a firm tannin structure on the palate and lingering sweet red berry fruit. The wine was matured in French oak barrels, of which 60% new wood, for 12 to 16 months.  Drinking well now, but maturation in a cool cellar until 2028 would be rewarding. Platter 5* 96P

Food pairing:

Rump or Sirloin steak, with a creamy black mushrooms sauce.

The beautiful Plaisir de Merle Wine Estate is situated at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain between Paarl and Franschhoek. The wines produced here are inspired by the harmony of a rich history, the fertile soil and lush vineyards. Their quest in making exceptional wines would have found favour with Huguenot founder, Charles Marais, who named the farm Le Plessis Marly after the small village from which he had come in France.

The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vines planted on the South-eastern slopes of Simonsberg Mountain. Planted in decomposed granite soils in the shade of the mountain, which slows down ripening of the grapes, makes for a beautifully structured, rich fruit, complex wine.
