Discription

Paserene Marathon 2021 is a timeless Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot blend that reflects the intensity, structure, and finesse of Tulbagh’s terroir.

Sourced from low-yielding vines grown in decomposed shale soils, this wine offers remarkable depth, dark fruit concentration, refined tannins, and a long, elegant finish. Bold yet polished, it is crafted for serious wine lovers, collectors, and those who appreciate wines with longevity.

With proper cellaring, Marathon 2021 has the potential to evolve beautifully for decades.
Aromatics

Cassis, blackcurrants, dark berries, dried flowers, black peppercorns, allspice, balsamic notes, cedar, oak, vanilla, and earthy mineral complexity.

The nose is rich and layered, showing a beautiful balance of dark fruit, spice, floral detail, and refined oak character.
Winemaking

Paserene Marathon 2021 was fermented in small upright French oak barrels, with careful hand-punching to avoid over-extraction and preserve elegance.

The wine was matured with a focus on purity and structure, allowing the fruit, tannins, and oak to integrate naturally. It was then aged for 6 months in bottle before release, ensuring balance, depth, and refinement.

For optimal enjoyment, cellar for at least 5 years before opening. With proper storage, this wine can continue to develop for up to 50 years.
