More details

Beryl Back 2023 celebrates the creativity and passion that define the Fairview winery. This elegant white blend of Chenin Blanc, Viognier, and Roussanne captures the harmony between craftsmanship and innovation. It stands proudly as an award-winning wine that reflects the purity and charm of Paarl Mountain.

The grapes come from Fairview’s own vineyards, rooted in decomposed granite soils that add minerality and depth. Chenin Blanc and Roussanne grow high on the cool, south-facing slopes, while Viognier thrives near the historic manor house. Because the 2023 season was mild, the fruit ripened slowly and developed bright flavours with lively acidity.

In the cellar, the winemaking team handled each step with precision. They handpicked and sorted the grapes, ensuring that only the best fruit reached the press. Chenin Blanc fermented in stainless steel, clay amphora, and French oak, creating layers of texture and freshness. Viognier was whole-bunch pressed and divided between oak and steel to add richness and spice. Meanwhile, Roussanne fermented in tank, contributing floral lift and elegance. After ten months on the lees, the team blended the components into one seamless wine.

Beryl Back 2023 shows energy, texture, and finesse in every glass. It pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy pasta, or Asian-inspired dishes. In addition, it’s perfect for sharing during a wine tasting at Fairview. With its balance, freshness, and smooth finish, this award winning wine captures Fairview’s heritage and ongoing pursuit of excellence.
