Paserene produces wines in Stellenbosch, the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The winery's Marathon, a Cabernet Sauvignon, has earned recognition from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. The winery also makes a Chardonnay that has received critical assessment from the same panel. Stellenbosch's Mediterranean climate and diverse soils support both the structure and ripeness that characterize the region's Cabernet-based wines, while its cooler pockets favor the freshness and complexity of white varietals. Paserene's focus on these two wines reflects the dual strengths of its terroir.
