Dark ruby red in the glass with rich aromas of ripe plum, raisins and blackcurrant, layered with baking spice from oak ageing.

A smooth sweet finish adds warmth and richness, making this wine perfect for cold evenings or indulgent desserts.
More details
Fairview Sweet Red 2025 comes from Petite Sirah and Tannat grown on decomposed granite soils on the southern slopes of the Fairview farm in Paarl. The wine follows a Cape Ruby style and uses quality fortification spirits from Oude Molen.
The team handpicked the grapes ripe in mid-March 2025 at 27° Balling. They destalked and crushed the bunches before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Long pump-overs extracted maximum colour and flavour. The winemakers then pressed the skins and fortified the wine with pot-stilled unaged brandy spirit, preserving the natural grape sweetness.
They fermented and fortified the two cultivars separately before blending. The wine then matured in older French oak barrels for around ten to twelve months. The result is a dense, velvety dessert wine with dark fruit, spice and a warming finish.
