In the cellar

The grapes were harvested at 23,8 degrees balling, destalked and gently crushed into stainless steel tanks. The long ripening of this cool vintage allowed phenolic ripeness at a lower sugar level. Pump-overs were done up to three times a day.

After fermentation, the wine was racked into barrels for malolactic fermentation and matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 15% was new oak. A second portion of the wine was hand-sorted, fermented in an open top wooden vat and then basket pressed. This handcrafted portion of Merlot adds depth and complexity to the final blend.

Winemaker: Anthony de Jager

About the Winery

Fairview is a working farm, housing a collection of micro-businesses all sharing in a common goal – to craft artisanal and sustainable produce, with a focus on fine wine and cheese. Everything they do is driven by their philosophy of being honest, honoring their heritage and ensuring their ingenuity. Eager to explore a wider range of wines using grapes grown in optimal conditions, Charles Back abandoned the estate wine concept in the 1980s, choosing rather to “go where the terroir is”. Today, they are one of the few farms that proudly own all their own vineyards, with land in Paarl, Darling, Swartland and Stellenbosch.
