Marianne Wines
Nestled in the gentle hills of the Stellenbosch wine region is Marianne Winery, run by Franck Massard, and known for its high-quality red wines. The winemaker and founder, a former sommelier from France, made his dream come true here in 2004. The winery places great importance on sustainable farming practices and low yields to produce wines with strong character and Burgundian finesse.
Particularly noteworthy are the Marianne Pinotage – a tribute to South Africa’s signature grape variety, Pinotage – and the Marianne Floreal. The latter is an expressive blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon .
The wines stand out for their elegance, complexity and longevity, and reflect the unique South African terroir.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
In the glass, a deep ruby red with slightly mature reflections. The nose reveals a complex array of aromas of dark berries such as Blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of dried fruit, cedarwood and a hint of tobacco. Extended ageing in French oak barrels adds further depth, along with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. Full-bodied and harmonious on the palate, with an elegant structure. The high proportion of Merlot gives the wine a soft, rounded texture, while the Cabernet Sauvignon lends it backbone and length. The tannins are well integrated, carrying the dark fruit and spicy notes through the mid-palate. The finish is long, smooth and layered, with lingering notes of dark fruit, oak and delicate spice.
