The Marianne Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a structured and expressive red from the slopes of Simonsberg-Paarl, reflecting the estate’s Bordeaux heritage and focus on balance and precision.
The nose opens with classic aromas of blackcurrant and dried blue berries, layered with notes of cigar box and vanilla pod. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and full, with rich dark fruit supported by firm, rounded tannins that give depth and structure. The mid-palate is generous and textured, while the finish is long and slightly grippy, carrying through the wine’s signature combination of fruit, oak, and subtle spice.
This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with both presence and refinement, pairing beautifully with grilled steaks, lamb, game, and richly flavored dishes.

The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully vinified to preserve varietal character and structure. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled tanks, with controlled extraction to build depth and tannin integration. The wine was then matured for 18–20 months in French oak barrels, allowing for the development of complexity, spice, and a polished texture while maintaining balance and fruit purity.
