Product information "Plaisir Estate Chardonnay 2024"
On the nose, the wine reveals an inviting bouquet of tropical fruit and grilled pineapple. Fresh exotic fruit lends the wine an expressive aromatic profile and creates an appealing contrast with the subtle nuances developed during oak maturation. The interplay of generous fruit and refined spice highlights its distinctive character.
On the palate, Plaisir Chardonnay is full-bodied, smooth and beautifully balanced. Juicy tropical fruit flavours are complemented by lively, zesty freshness. Thanks to maturation on the fine lees, the wine offers a pleasantly creamy texture and harmonious richness. The long finish delights with delicate hints of buttery biscuits and an elegant, supple structure.
The eleven months of maturation in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring give Plaisir Chardonnay 2024 additional depth and complexity. Partial malolactic fermentation softens the acidity and creates a particularly smooth mouthfeel. This characterful Chardonnay pairs beautifully with pan-fried fish, poultry in a creamy sauce or mild cheese and, according to the winery, has ageing potential of more than ten years.

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).
