Fairview’s Wine Club Mixed Red Case

7 days of a week. 7 colours of a rainbow. 7 continents. 7 seas. 7 wonders of the world. 7 heavens. 7 deadly sins. It is well known that, of all numbers, there is no one which has exercised a wider influence, no one which has commanded in a higher degree the esteem and reverence of mankind, than the number 7.

Nowhere was this more evident than in our very own cellar, where our 7-strong winemaking team decided to come together and create a blend using each of their own favourite varieties: Shiraz, Pinotage, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Tannat, Petite Sirah and Grenache. As the third edition in our beloved Broken Barrel range, this remarkable, full-bodied red brilliantly highlights the sheer drinkability of a modern blend. Showing cherry fruit with vanilla and cinnamon spice on the inviting nose, the balanced palate has fresh red fruit with more savoury flavours, finishing off with matured, smooth tannins. In our opinion, this wine really shows the power of the magnificent 7.

Extraño – meaning stranger in Spanish – Introducing an unusual blend of Spanish varieties Tempranillo, Grenache and Carignan, this red will pack a punch and wow any hearty meal. Arriba arriba, bring out those castanets!

We've carefully cultivated a home for old Grenache bush vines along the Piekenierskloof mountains where, with extreme weather conditions and poor soils, the high lying vineyards undeservedly reward us with a profound style of wine. Having provided the backbone to some of our finest blends, we are proud to bring this single variety to the fore. If you're new to reds, this is a foolproof place to start, offering a lighter style wine with plenty of red fruit and soft tannins.
