The Marianne Estate is a prestigious vineyard located in the heart of the renowned Stellenbosch wine region in South Africa. Established in the 1990s, this estate is known for producing wines like the "Wine of Origin", which are renowned for their distinct taste and exceptional texture. Spanning over 42 hectares of fertile, sun-soaked land, the vineyards are meticulously maintained to produce grapes of unmatched quality. The region's favourable climate, characterized by mild winters and hot summers, offers optimal growing conditions for the vines. The softly sloping hillsides allow for excellent sun exposure, creating a perfect balance for grape cultivation: a wall of flavours, a robust structure, and a unique freshness. The Marianne Estate is primarily known for its production of red wines. Among these, the Cabernet Sauvignon, which is aged in oak barrels for several months, has a special touch with its notes of spices, black cherries, and cocoa. The Merlot, with its soft aromas of black fruits and roasting, is also highly appreciated. Interestingly, the Marianne Estate has adopted some French winemaking techniques. The traditional method of hand-harvesting is practiced to ensure the selection of the best grapes. This practice helps guarantee the high quality of the wines produced at the estate, a characteristic that has allowed it to stand out in the international wine market. Beyond producing refined wines, the Marianne Estate also offers wine tourism opportunities. Its immaculate cellar is a place of education and tasting, providing visits with an insight into winemaking.
