Established in 1693, the Fairview cellar, with its spectacular view of Table Mountain, lies on the southwestern slopes of Paarl in the Cape of Good Hope. Fairview was purchased by my grandfather in 1937, and I am the third generation to make wine here. We have vineyards in the leading coastal grape producing areas, where geographic and climatic diversity allow us to craft a range of truly distinctive wines, which we complement with our award-winning artisanal cheeses. To Life!

in the vineyard : This Riesling was harvested from vineyards just outside the town of Darling on the cool-climate West Coast. The three-hectare, eleven-year old vineyard has its roots in un-irrigated dark red oakleaf soils, 300m above sea level.

about the harvest:
Harvest Date: February 2014
Picked in the early morning at 24 balling

in the cellar : The grapes were whole bunch pressed, after which the juice was allowed to settle for 48 hours before being racked off into stainless steel tanks and cold fermented. The wine is naturally medium dry, leaving a residual sugar of 13.6g/l in the wine.
