Description: Paserene, a boutique winery in Franschhoek, owned by Martin Smith and Ndavhe Mareda, crafts luxury wines with a strong focus on authenticity, emphasizing a sense of place and people. The name " Paserene" is derived from the Latin word PasserAiformes, symbolizing freedom and travel.
Capturing an experience in a bottle takes patience, balance, and creativity. These three words perfectly sum up the nature of Paserene. From our bespoke labels created by exceptional artists, to our elegant wines from three distinctive terroirs, the golden thread that runs through our wine estate in Franschhoek is attention to detail.
We leave nothing to chance, working with the precision of a master craftsman. Our wines are designed for the refined palate, and have won prestigious awards, including a 5 star rating in the 2021 John Platter Guide and a Robert Parker Top 100 Discoveries Award.
When you step inside our tasting lounge, inspired by the nest of the migratory swallow, you will be struck by the natural beauty of our wine farm which is reflected in each of our award-winning wines. Spend the day leisurely sipping on one of our magnificent wines, surrounded by the manicured gardens of our wine estate and undisturbed views of the Franschhoek mountains.
