Marianne
Marianne is a Stellenbosch winery producing wines from the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The house focuses on two distinct expressions: a Sauvignon Blanc that captures the region's signature brightness, and two red blends—Floreal, a Merlot-Cabernet-Shiraz composition, and Desirade, a Merlot-Cabernet pairing. Both reds reflect Stellenbosch's capacity for structured, layered wines built on Bordeaux and Rhône varieties. Wine Spectator and Decanter have rated the portfolio, with the Sauvignon Blanc and Floreal emerging as the house's highest-rated offerings. The winery's range demonstrates the versatility of the Coastal Region's terroir, from crisp white wines to complex red blends suited to food and cellaring.
