Tasting Notes
The wine opens with a garnet-coloured hue. Aromas of vanilla, wild raspberries and raw cocoa rise from the glass. The palate shows layers of red fruit, spice and earthy notes with fine tannins and long flavour. The wine’s natural austerity gives it precision and poise. It will gain even more depth with a few more years in bottle.
More details
The Bloemcool Tinto Fino 2018 stands as the flagship red in the Bloemcool collection. It draws its inspiration from the strong results Fairview has achieved with Mediterranean varieties like Tempranillo. The name “Tinto Fino” pays homage to the Spanish heritage of the grape and reflects the wine’s bold, fine-red character.
The vines grow on the warm south-east facing slopes of the granite-rich Paarl Mountain. Each bunch was handpicked early in the morning and brought to the cellar at cool temperatures. The team used an open-top fermenter to extract colour and tannin. After fermentation, the wine matured for 20 months in 2nd-fill French and American oak. Only eight barrels made the final selection.
For this vintage, a small portion of Shiraz rounded the wine and lifted its fruit expression. After barrel-maturation, the wine settled and was bottled with only rough filtration to protect its structure and flavour. The wine is built to age and can comfortably mature for up to a decade.
Tinto Fino 2018 shows the power of Tempranillo in the Cape. Rich fruit, subtle oak, fine tannins and deep structure make it a standout for collectors of South African wine and fans of Fairview wines.
