Fairview Paarl Chenin Blanc 2016

Fresh apples, citrus and tropical fruit notes on the nose. The palate is complex with flavours of quince, tropical fruit and gentle oaking. The wine lingers with a fresh minerality on the palate.

Salads, especially those containing cold meats and a bit of fruit. The wine can also handle spicy food such as traditional Cape Malay dishes.

in the vineyard : The grapes are from the Fairview farm on the slope of Paarl Mountain. These trellised vineyards are planted on decomposed granite soils on the higher part of the hill.
in the cellar : The grapes were handpicked very early in the morning, which allowed for them to be delivered cold to the cellar, where they were destalked and gently pressed. The free-run juice settled for two days before the clear juice was racked off for fermentation. 48% of the wine was fermented in French oak barrels (225L and 500L barrels of which half were new oak) and the rest was cold fermented in a stainless steel tank. On completion of fermentation, the wine was left on fine lees before blending the components and bottling.
