Description

Terre Paisible is an estate located on Wemmershoek Road in Franschhoek, South Africa, known for producing high-quality wines and extra virgin olive oils. It emphasizes a commitment to sustainable agriculture and a deep respect for the land.

The estate is home to rare blocks of registered Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc, with some vines dating back to 1987, highlighting their dedication to preserving viticultural heritage. Winemaker Adam Mason crafts wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Franschhoek Valley, employing a minimalist approach.

Their wine portfolio includes the “Terre Paisible Range” (featuring wines like “Les Dames de 1987” Sauvignon Blanc and “Isabelle” Rosé) and the “Vigne d’Or Range.”
Beyond wine, Terre Paisible cultivates 22 hectares of olive orchards, producing three distinct styles of extra virgin olive oil from five Italian olive varieties.

The estate also is home to a world-class medical aesthetic spa, aiming to offer a holistic retreat experience. Terre Paisible’s focus is on creating a legacy of quality and sustainability, with its products embodying the harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship in the Franschhoek Valley.

Harvested in the cool of early morning, Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the fertile Berg River alluvial plains were then whole-bunch pressed to minimize phenols and turbidity in the juice. Cold-fermentation and maturation in stainless steel was followed by 9 months maturation on lees before bottling preparation.

Vibrant in appearance with a light green hue, this is classic Franschhoek Sauvignon Blanc. Delicate notes of lime cordial and freshly mown hay are found on the nose whilst the beautifully balanced palate marries riper tropical fruit flavours with vibrant acidity and creamy texture from 9 months maturation on lees.
