Fairview Classic Verdelho 2022

R65.00 R125.00

Established in 2013, these vineyards are planted in a cooler pocket of Paarl Mountain on our Fairview farm, tucked away in-between natural vegetation (fynbos) and a valley. The trellised Verdelho is planted mid slope and south facing, on decomposed granite soils. This early ripening Portuguese variety shows promise for the future and is well suited to dry and hot areas.

Food Pairing

Seafood’s new best friend. The acidity works well with traditional fish and chips or creamy mussels. Perfect for al fresco dining. Think sushi, summer salads, cheese platters or crunchy raw vegetables and hummus.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw colour in the glass. The wine has a crunchy grape, stone fruit, Forelle pear character with a hint of sea salt. Light to medium bodied palate with zesty citrus, suggestions of honeysuckle and seasoned oak notes. Delicately layered with a zippy fresh acidity. Drink now or keep for up to 3 years under ideal storage conditions.


More details

The grapes were handpicked very early in the morning and delivered cold to the cellar. Once in the cellar, the grapes were put through a peristaltic pump and straight into the press. This allows the skins to gently break and release the free-run juice. The juice was settled for two days before the clear juice was racked off for fermentation in neutral 225L French oak barrels (3rd and 4th fill). On completion of fermentation, the wine was left in barrel for a further 10 months of aging. The wine was naturally stabilised and lightly filtered before bottling.
