2020 Plaisir de Merle Petit Plaisir

Plaisir was founded by French Huguenots some three centuries ago. They came to South Africa with old-world winemaking expertise that influences the winery to this day.

The diversity of the soils, slopes and elevations is closely linked with the quality of Plaisir wines. Situated on the east and northeast facing slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, Plaisir is bordered by the towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl.

This is a fruit forward, full-bodied red blend. Expect notes of blackberries, dark fruit, white chocolate followed by some cigar box and light pencil shavings.
