Product information "Plaisir Cabernet Sauvignon 2020"
On the nose, the wine reveals a layered bouquet of dark blueberries, redcurrants and delicate graphite notes. Expressive fruit is accompanied by a subtle mineral nuance, adding depth and distinctive character. Its aromatic profile beautifully captures the classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Simonsberg.
On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied, structured and remarkably well-balanced. Intense dark berry and redcurrant flavours blend harmoniously with ripe, well-integrated tannins. Despite its powerful structure, the wine retains impressive elegance and balance. Its layered flavours develop a lingering presence, leading to a long and expressive finish.
The 18 months of maturation in French oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new oak, give Plaisir Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 additional structure and ageing potential. Careful hand harvesting and controlled winemaking reflect the estate's commitment to quality. This characterful red wine pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes, game or mature cheese and is an excellent choice for special occasions.

Plaisir: French flair at the Cape
Plaisir wines are fruity, spicy and complex
Plaisir is Conservation Champion of the WWF
In addition to the expressive wines that tantalise the senses, Plaisir has plenty to offer for the eyes. The Manor House, built in 1764, is one of the earliest and finest examples of unique Cape Dutch architecture, and the Water Mill – a replica of the historic mill created by Jacob Marais for his wife Maria in the 18th century – are architecturally interesting structures and keep the history of the estate alive to this day. This is also true of the wine cellar, built in 1993, which echoes many symbolic elements. Particularly striking are the gargoyles in the shape of griffins on the walls, which are supposed to ward off evil spirits, and the doves on the windows are a sign of peace and the new South Africa. The griffin – a mythical creature that is half eagle and half lion – also adorns the winery's logo. According to legend, a griffin guards great treasures and can thus be understood as the guardian over the vineyards of Plaisir. By combining the farsightedness of the eagle and the courage of the lion, the animal embodies the visions of previous generations on the one hand and serves as a signpost for the future on the other. To ensure this future, Plaisir is committed to flora and fauna and is one of only 38 wine estates in the Cape to have been awarded the coveted status of Conservation Champion by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
