Fairview Barrel-Aged Pinotage 2023 is a special once-off release that combines vibrant Pinotage fruit with the added depth of oak maturation. Rich, smooth, and full of character, it offers a modern expression of South Africa’s signature red variety.
Whether enjoyed alongside a hearty meal or shared with friends around the braai, this Pinotage delivers generous flavour and exceptional drinkability. Pair it with beef fillet, slow-roasted lamb, smoky barbecue dishes, or spicy Cape Malay curries for a memorable experience.
Deep ruby red in the glass with aromas of black cherries, ripe berries, and plum. Notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and oak spice add complexity to the nose. The palate is full-bodied and layered with dark fruit flavours, well-integrated oak, fresh acidity, and smooth tannins. The finish is long, balanced, and lingering with subtle spice.
Fairview Barrel-Aged Pinotage 2023 brings together the best of Pinotage’s bold fruit character and the refinement of careful oak ageing. This special once-off blend combines fruit from selected coastal vineyards with Pinotage sourced from Fairview’s older dryland bush vines and trellised vineyards. The result is a wine with impressive depth, structure, and complexity.
The winemaking team ferments the components separately before blending. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in a combination of French and American oak barrels. This process allows the fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly, creating a balanced wine that showcases both richness and elegance.
