Dark Ruby red colour with rich aromas of baked plums and sweet medjool dates, layered with baking spices and caramelized red fruit entices on the nose. The palate has balanced spice and raisin flavours and a fortified finish with sweet lingering berry fruit.
Petite Sirah (also known as Durif) is a natural crossing of Syrah and Peloursin, discovered by François Durif in the south of France in 1880. Its intense colour and good tannin structure makes it an excellent blending partner. It thrives in warm climates, both here in Paarl and in the Swartland. The Souzao is a traditional Port-style variety which is a fitting contributor to the blend.
Since the first bottling under the Fairview Wine in 1974, this classic collection of single variety bottlings is continually growing, while always striving to ensure we reflect our traditional strengths and leave room to explore current fascinations. By maintaining traditional reds at the core of our range such as Shiraz and Pinotage, we have naturally evolved to include a growing white wine selection of farm favourites such as Chenin Blanc and Viognier. Offering excellent value and well balanced drinkability, our Fairview Wine range consistently over-delivers on quality.
