More details
Fairview Chardonnay 2023 comes from vineyards on the lower slopes of the Fairview farm in Paarl. The nearby Berg River and cool morning mist help retain freshness in the grapes.
The team harvested the fruit before dawn to protect natural acidity. Forty percent of the wine fermented in stainless steel and remained on the lees for added texture. The remaining portion fermented in French oak barrels of different ages. The wine spent ten months on the lees with regular stirring before blending and bottling.
This approach creates a Chardonnay that balances fresh fruit, gentle oak and a creamy mouthfeel. The wine drinks well now and will continue to develop over the next two to three years.
