Fairview Caldera 2018
R150.00
A ‘calderata’ is a traditional Catalan earthenware pot used for cooking. A classic Southern Rhone style blend (Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre), Caldera reflects this Mediterranean flavour.
Description
The fruit was hand-harvested in the early morning. The Grenache, Mourvèdre and Shiraz grapes were hand-sorted and fermented in foudre (open-top French oak barrels). The individual components were matured separately in 2nd to 4th fill French oak barrels for 16 months, then barrel selected, blended and bottled with a very light filtration.

This wine speaks to me. On many levels!!
It has beautiful elegance – not trying to be smart, or OTT, it hits the spot.
It has shared lots of my secrets with friends and on numerous occasions with me, myself and I. There is a connection!!
I’m still trying to figure out ‘his/her’ secret – and I won’t give up!
Thank you!!

Excellent wine, as good as any Chateau neuf du pape. Well done! Bought 6 bottles and got them shipped to Sweden together with 6 bottles Eenzsaamheid Shiraz. Cheers!
