Established by the French Huguenots in 1693 on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountains between Paarl and Franschhoek, Plaisir de Merle is a rare gem. Winemaker Niel Bester attributes the success of his wines to being able to work with great fruit coming from a very unique terrain and the invaluable input from his viticulture team. The wine was matured in French oak barrels, of which 60% new wood, for 12 to 16 months. 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.
