Fairview Grenache Noir 2023

The Fairview Grenache Noir 2023 comes from high-altitude vineyards on Diamant Farm. These 10- to 14-year-old bush vines grow in decomposed granite with pockets of schist. The elevated site gives the fruit bright acidity and pure red-berry flavour. Warm summer days and cooling afternoon breezes help Grenache thrive on these well-known wine farms South Africa.

The team picked the grapes early in the morning. Whole bunches lined the bottom of the tank, with hand-sorted berries added on top. Gentle punch-downs and soft pump-overs shaped the wine without extracting harsh tannin. After pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in older French oak barrels and matured for nine months.

Grenache Noir 2023 is bright, juicy and effortless to enjoy. Raspberries, red berries, lifted perfume and fynbos spice sit at the core. Fresh acidity and smooth tannins create a silky, medium-bodied finish. It’s a playful and food-friendly expression of south african wine, perfect for relaxed meals, fairview wine and cheese pairings or casual evenings at home.

It also works beautifully as a chilled option for relaxed wine tasting Cape Town days. This style pairs easily with light meals, soft cheeses and fresh summer dishes, making it a favourite for fans of cape cheese products and visitors who enjoy discovering new flavours at the Fairview Deli.
