Plaisir Grand Plaisir Chardonnay 2022

R597.00

Region: Paarl

Tasting note:

‘Stunning 2022 epitome of Simonsberg chardonnay, rich yet fresh with firm acid. Detailed winemaking: hand-harvest of separate parcels, barrel rolling to stir lees for complexity (as all whites), barrel selection. 60% new, for 11 months, oak maturation gives breadth & depth to honeyed stonefruit, hazelnut & citrus.’ – Platter’s Guide, 5* (95/100)

‘Matured for 11 months barrel, 60% new. Pear, peach, citrus and a subtle nuttiness on the nose. Medium bodied with well-integrated acidity and a pithy finish. Carries its oak well and comes across as elegant and understated.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100

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. The wines produced here are inspired by the harmony of a rich history, the fertile soil and lush vineyards. This historic estate was recently bought by Rose and Michael Jordaan, returning it to private hands after many years of corporate ownership. The 974-hectare estate 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.
