Fairview enters a few international wine competitions each year, partly as a measure of how the international judges see our wines and partly to benchmark against other products in the market. This year we entered a small selection of wines and are happy to report that our entries have collected some medals for the cellar. Competitions and awards shows will always have their critics and while Fairview does not rely on medals to sell our wines, it is a nice added recognition.
A notable medal this year has been a Gold for the 2008 Fairview Shiraz, which is being released in the coming weeks. This was received at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. This wine has been at the centre of our range for more than thirty years. It has been a product that has been produced at a consistently high standard and for this, Anthony de Jager and his team deserve to be recognised. Shiraz is part of many of our wines and the standard Fairview Shiraz is the benchmark as an indication of the vintage.
