Why You'll Love It
Savoury, textured and refreshingly different, Pleasure Garden gives Sherry's best-known grape a new setting. Lemon peel, green apple and almond meet a salty edge, with enough weight to make this more than an aperitif. Try it with sushi, grilled prawns or other Japanese dishes, particularly if you enjoy Muscadet or Albariño.
About The Producer
Blackwater is the independent project of François Haasbroek, who began seeking out neglected Cape vineyards while working as winemaker at Waterford Estate. His interest lies in the character of individual sites, particularly older vines and varieties that might otherwise disappear into larger blends. Rather than owning one estate, he works with growers across the Western Cape, building long-term relationships around vineyards he believes deserve their own bottling. Careful fruit selection and restrained cellar work underpin the range, from fragrant Cinsault and Carignan to textured Chenin Blanc and the unusual Pleasure Garden Palomino.
Winemaking Information
Made from an old Palomino vineyard in Robertson, a rare survivor of the grape's longer history in the Cape. François Haasbroek uses a restrained approach to bring out the site's character and the variety's savoury texture, producing a dry table wine rather than a fortified wine.
