Fairview Cyril Back 2000 marks the beginning of a legacy. The very first release in the Vinotéque Collection, it was born from a single Shiraz block on the Paarl vineyard the same land that has shaped many of Fairview’s finest wines. This limited-release wine captures a moment in time, crafted with care and aged with quiet patience for over two decades.
The 2000 vintage offered ideal ripening conditions, allowing the Shiraz grapes to reach perfect balance. In the barrel, the wine developed depth and poise, gaining subtle spice and structure from fine oak. Years later, it still reflects the strength of its origin, dark fruit, cassis, and gentle herbs carried by smooth tannins and a lingering finish.
Today, Fairview Cyril Back 2000 stands as an aged Shiraz of remarkable integrity, perfectly intact and beautifully evolved. A true collector’s gem, it represents not just a wine, but the beginning of the Vinotéque Collection story a tribute to heritage, family, and the enduring spirit of the Paarl vineyard.
