The 2019 harvest has come to an end! After 41 years at Fairview I’ve grown accustomed to the victories and defeats that come with every harvest, but the 2019 harvest has been particularly challenging. The drought of the last few years paired with a few...
Fairview and the winemaking team are very proud to introduce the third release in the Broken Barrel range, and the next once-off wine in this limited and extremely popular range. Nicknamed 'Seven', this blend is an alluring blend of our winemaker's 7 favourite different grape...
Recently, we released something extra special that Charles and the winemaking team have been working on. Since we started the Fairview Wine Club last year, Charles's intent has been to craft a special and exclusive bottling to be able to offer our wine club members...
There is a stranger (extraño in Spanish) in the Cape’s vineyards, named Tempranillo. Originally from Spain, Tempranillo now grows in local soils and produces grapes of exceptional quality. We’ve carefully integrated fellow Spaniards Grenache and Carignan – who add spice, fruit and freshness – to help...
Recently, we planted a new vineyard. As you can imagine, this doesn't happen all that often, so the occasion becomes quite auspicious on the farm. The process may seem straightforward - dig a couple of holes, put some baby grapevines in them and fill the...
The wine is called Goats do Roam. No, not Côtes-du-Rhône. And yes, it was always intended to be like that. As you’ll know by now, I’ve always enjoyed tweaking sensibilities – French or otherwise. Goats Do Roam was born out of my love for my...
Today we are celebrating this robust, flavourful grape with the release of our new vintage of Bloemcool Tinto Fino Tempranillo 2014 – a wine that sold out as quickly as it hit our Tasting Room last year! We introduced the maiden Bloemcool range in 2015, and...
We're very lucky here at Fairview. With Charles Back at the helm of a tightly-run ship, there are always innovative projects around us, new and exciting varietals to plant and plenty of goat's cheese to make, among a flurry of other activities. Recently, on the...
Saturday, 9th November this year marks International Tempranillo Day - a day we are most definitely celebrating! As big advocates of the Spanish variety, we've used it in a range of our wines, most recently the Fairview Extrano and Fairview Broken Barrel. When reflecting on bringing...
Buying wine online might seem a little foreign. After all, wine is a sensual experience, incorporating your sight, smell and taste - none of which is really available digitally. That said, if you know the exact glug you're after (or trust recommendations), then what's the...
If you’ve ever tried some of our Single Vineyard wines, you might have come across the term ‘old vines’. But what exactly do we mean by that? It’s quite simple really. We mean vines that are old. And why is this worth writing about? Well, every...
We're thrilled to announce our most recent award winners in the 2017 Shiraz SA Wine Challenge. On the 31st May 2017, Fairview once again proved its prowess in the cultivation of this red grape varietal, as a total of four of our Shiraz wines were...
