Marianne Wine Estate

This Stellenbosch estate in South Africa is owned by Frenchman Christian Dauriac, owner of three estates in Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Christian travels back and forth to South Africa to work with the team at Marianne Wine Estate with help from consultant and friend Michel Rolland. The link with Bordeaux shows through in the wines. The aim at Marianne Estate Wine is to produce bold, fruit-forward wines with well-integrated soft tannins and aging potential, making them suitable for wine collectors. A minimum of three years passes between harvest and release of any wine. Wines are aged in French oak barrels imported to South Africa by Dauriac.
