Marianne Wines
In the gentle hills of the wine region Stellenbosch , you will find the Winery Marianne, run by Franck Massard, known for its high-quality red wines. The cellar master and founder, a former sommelier from France, realized his dream here in 2004. The winery places great emphasis on sustainable farming practices and low yields to produce wines with strong character and Burgundy-like finesse.
Particularly noteworthy are the Marianne Pinotage – a tribute to South Africa’s flagship grape variety Pinotage – and the Marianne Floreal. The latter is an expressive cuvée with Cabernet Sauvignon as the flagship grape variety.
The wines stand out for their elegance, complexity, and long aging potential, reflecting the unique South African terroir.

In the glass a clear, bright yellow with fine highlights. On the nose a multilayered aromatic interplay of lime, elderflower and ripe nectarine, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla and a subtle touch of brioche. Oak maturation in the style of a Blanc Fumé gives the wine additional depth and elegance. On the palate the Sauvignon Blanc is surprisingly round and structured, with a pleasant texture and well-integrated fresh acidity. The combination of citrus freshness, floral notes and a slightly creamy element provides balance and complexity. The finish is fresh yet gently spicy, with a harmonious blend of fruit, fine oak nuances and subtle toasty aromas.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
