The Grand Plaisir has been awarded 93 points in John Platter’s Wine Guide. This wonderful blend from the Plaisir de Merle winery is a composition created by winemaker Niel Bester from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec grape varieties.
This South African red wine shines in the glass with a vibrant ruby red color. The bouquet is delightfully multifaceted. Notes of black currants, blackberries, mulberries, and plums harmonize with hints of cedarwood and dried herbs, complemented by subtle nuances of cocoa and coffee. “Spice and graphite notes share the spotlight with elegant fruit, dark chocolate, and even dried herbs,” writes Christine Rudman in Platter’s Wine Guide.
On the palate, the Grand Plaisir is dry, wonderfully crisp, and full-bodied. It offers an engaging array of aromas, including ripe cherries, blueberries, plums, and apricots. This is complemented by subtle spice and velvety, perfectly integrated tannins. Rudman describes a “tannic backbone enveloped by juicy fruit,” which gives the Grand Plaisir significant aging potential (ten years and even beyond).
This red wine from the Paarl region aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. After blending, it aged for an additional 6 months in third-fill oak barrels. Enjoy Plaisir de Merle’s flagship wine with a high-quality Wagyu Denver steak, perhaps served with chimichurri, the Argentine sauce. But even when enjoyed on its own, it’s the perfect companion as the day draws to a close.
