There is an indescribable moment of recognition when a truly great red blend is encountered. It is both awe and celebration for it is not something that is easily found – but when a master craftsman is allowed to do his work, the result is incomparable. Not too heavy, but with definite stature and presence.
The 2021 Vigne d’Or Red Blend from Terre Paisible in Franschhoek is a luxurious, multi-varietal wine combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. It is fermented in traditional open-top French oak vessels, aged for 8 months in French oak after malolactic fermentation, and then further aged for 10 months. This blend has won gold medals at the Mundis Vini International Wine Awards, showcasing the estate’s growing reputation on the international stage.

Terre Paisible – Peaceful Land – is a special place to be discovered at the gateway to the Franschhoek Valley in South Africa.
With awe-inspiring views, the land here is a source of energy and revitalisation – a place to recharge and re-set – where a sense of abundance and peace envelop you.
Here, this synergy with nature is captured in everything we grow and everything we do.
Consultant winemaker Adam Mason (of Klein Constantia fame) certainly got the opportunity to flex his winemaking expertise with this new release from one of the greatest Cape vintages in the past two decades, and this 2021 Terre Paisible Red Blend surely stands as one of the most exciting new red wines from the Cape in recent years. This noble expression draws on the finest fruit from the Stellenbosch region to deliver a fragrant expression with lifted aromatics of creme de cassis, pressed violets, potpourri, cherry tobacco, and sweet plums with hints of sappy cedar spice. Dense and generous but supple in the mouth, this wine shows an incredibly layered texture with a fresh seamless core of salted plums, blueberry, and black currant, all energised by a crisp, vibrant acidity and a sleek, powdery mineral tannin mouthfeel that s polished and suitably tight knit. Simply wonderful to witness such inspired winemaking in an iconic vintage like 2021. Drink on release but preferably over the next 5 to 12+ years. A real triumph from Adam Mason.
