Paserene Chardonnay

The Paserene Chardonnay is an expressive premium white wine from the cool Elgin growing region on the South African coast. The Paserene winery, known for its uncompromising quality standards and sustainable viticulture, brings a luxurious white wine to the glass with this Chardonnay, which masterfully combines floral freshness, fine minerality and a velvety texture.

The Chardonnay grapes are carefully harvested by hand and gently pressed. After a short resting phase in stainless steel tanks, spontaneous fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, giving the wine depth and complexity. The wine is aged for 24 months, with around 30% of the barrels already used. This ensures an elegant balance between fruit, freshness and fine wood structure without overpowering the wine. The mineral-rich Ferricrete soils of Elgin and the cool climate also ensure taut acidity and great finesse.

In the glass, the Chardonnay is a bright gold with greenish reflections. The nose reveals complex aromas of citrus blossom, neroli and fine blossom honey, accompanied by roasted almonds and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is creamy and precise at the same time - notes of honey, brioche and ripe stone fruit meet a clear minerality and lively acidity. The finish is long, silky and elegant.

Paserene Chardonnay is a versatile food companion - perfect with grilled lobster, scallops or creamy poultry such as butter chicken. Soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert also harmonize perfectly with its texture and aroma. Recommended drinking temperature: 10-12°C

Paserene Union
The Paserene Union is a pure Syrah from the South African region of Tulbagh, which is one of the country's most impressive red wines with its intense structure, deep aromas and remarkable elegance. This wine comes from low-yielding vines that thrive on decomposed slate soils. The combination of dry soil, hot days and cool nights produces exceptionally concentrated fruit and gives the Syrah its powerful, complex personality.The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and fermented in open concrete tanks for around four weeks. This traditional method allows a gentle extraction of color and aroma and expresses the full depth of the terroir. The wine then matures for sixteen months in used French oak barrels, giving the fruit enough space to fully develop. A further year of bottle ageing before release ensures perfect integration of the aromas. The wine is bottled unfiltered to preserve its authentic structure and natural strength.In the glass, Paserene Union has an almost inky black hue. The bouquet is intense and multi-faceted, characterized by ripe dark fruits such as blueberries and mulberries, accompanied by smoky and earthy notes reminiscent of charcoal, bacon and a hint of tar. Subtle hints of cedar wood, tobacco and fine spices testify to the subtle influence of wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with dense, fine-meshed tannins and a wonderfully balanced acidity. The concentrated fruit is complemented by a striking mineral component that provides additional depth and warmth. The long, multi-layered finish makes it clear that this Syrah has enormous ageing potential.In culinary terms, Paserene Union harmonizes particularly well with strong meat dishes such as grilled lamb, braised beef or game with a spicy herb crust. Matured hard cheeses also form a successful contrast to the dark fruit and structure of the wine. For an exceptional finish, this Syrah can even be paired with a dark chocolate tart, which elegantly picks up on its fine roasted aromas and velvety texture. Ideally, serve the wine at 16 to 18°C to allow its aromas to develop optimally.The Paserene Union is a Syrah with great ambition, reflecting the essence of the South African terroir in its most powerful form. An expressive, yet finely balanced wine that will delight in the here and now as well as develop its full potential over decades.

Paserene Marathon
The Paserene Marathon is a wine with character that rightly bears its name: This expressive cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot comes from the renowned boutique winery Paserene, which is known in South Africa for its terroir-driven, precisely vinified wines with a clear signature. The Marathon combines persistence, intensity and elegance - a powerful red wine that contains the best of the Tulbagh region.The grapes come from low-yielding vines that thrive on weathered slate soil in Tulbagh - an area characterized by hot days and cool nights. In addition, lots from Elgin, the coolest wine region in South Africa, and from Franschhoek are vinified, giving the wine aromatic complexity and fresh structure. Fermentation and ageing are carried out with a particular focus on balance and finesse: The Marathon is fermented in small, upright French oak barrels. To avoid over-extraction, the so-called "punch-down" is carried out by hand. Half of the maturation in oak barrels takes place naturally in order to preserve the origin and pure character of the grape varieties. Before release, the wine rests in the bottle for at least six months, which gives it additional harmony and depth.In the glass, the Marathon has a deep, black-violet hue - a visual harbinger of its concentration. Intense aromas of dark berries, cassis and blackcurrants unfold on the nose, accompanied by floral notes, black pepper and a fine spiciness. On the palate, it impresses with its powerful structure, silky tannins and wonderfully integrated wood spice. The dark fruit, underpinned by balsamic and earthy notes, continues into the long, mineral finish.The Paserene Marathon is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes such as grilled lamb with rosemary, game birds or a ribeye steak cooked over an open fire. Matured cheeses such as old Gouda or herb sheep's cheese also harmonize perfectly with its depth. For a special moment of pleasure, a serving temperature of 16-18 °C is recommended.With its long-lasting structure and perfect balance of fruit, tannin and terroir, Marathon is a red wine with great ageing potential - ideal for collectors, connoisseurs and anyone who appreciates wines with personality and expression. An authentic South African blend that can develop magnificently over decades.

Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay
The Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay is an exceptional white wine with a clear signature of the terroir. It comes from two small plots of old bush vines, high up on the Eikendal vineyard in Stellenbosch. The vines are deeply rooted in barren, weathered granite with intercalated gravel and white clay - soils that have been stripped of all organic matter. The south-easterly orientation of the rows of vines and the constant influence of the fresh sea breeze from False Bay create a cool microclimate that produces precise, elegant wines rich in finesse.The low yields of just 0.8 to 1 kg of grapes per vine are reflected in the enormous concentration and depth of the wine.The carefully hand-picked grapes were pressed as whole bunches, without prior clarification of the must. Half of the spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, while the other half was matured in a mix of 500-liter barrels made from new French oak (60%) and a granite amphora (40%) - a rare and purist approach in which granite ferments in granite. After 18 months of ageing without fining or filtration, the wine is completely natural and unadorned.In the glass, the Infused by Earth Chardonnay is complex and profound - with notes of citrus fruit, ripe stone fruit, roasted nuts and a hint of wet stone. The structure is powerful yet precise, carried by an invigorating acidity and a salty, almost chalky finish.Serve this multi-layered white wine at 10-12 °C with sophisticated dishes such as roasted turbot with beurre blanc, chicken in a lemon and herb marinade, or a fine vegetable tart with goat's cheese. Also ideal with grilled vegetables or dishes with white truffle oil.Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay is a fascinating wine that uncompromisingly expresses the terroir of its origin - puristic, deep and unforgettable. A must for explorers and lovers of special white wines.
