Fairview Altesse 2025 is a fresh Bordeaux-style white blend from Darling with citrus, green herbs and layered texture.
Technical Specs:
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with West Coast seafood such as sole, rock lobster or oysters with salsa verde. It also works well with creamy seafood pasta, risotto or salads with asparagus and goat’s cheese.
Tasting Notes
Straw in colour with a slight gold tinge in the glass. The nose shows fresh green herbs, ripe yellow plums and lime aromas typical of the cool climate Darling vineyards. The palate is fresh with flavours of dried citrus peel, green figs and nettle. Balanced acidity and texture from the oaked Sémillon add depth. The wine will develop well over the next two to three years.
More details
Fairview Altesse 2025 blends Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from the Lanner Hill farm near Darling. Altitude and the nearby Atlantic Ocean shape the character of these vineyards and give the wine its fresh coastal style.
The team harvested the grapes in late February 2025. They whole-bunch pressed the fruit before fermentation. Sauvignon Blanc fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks on the gross lees for nine months. Sémillon fermented in 225 and 500 litre French oak barrels and aged in oak for nine months.
The result is a bright white blend with citrus freshness, herbal notes and subtle texture.
