Stok by Paaltjie Grenache Noir 2023 captures the wild beauty of the Fairview wine farm and the rugged slopes of Paarl Mountain. The vines grow freely among Cape fynbos, each twisting up its own wooden post. Their roots reach deep into granite and shale soils that shape the wine’s mineral edge and bright personality. Every bunch tells the story of a vineyard shaped by wind, sun, and time in the Cape Winelands.
The grapes were hand-harvested from low-yielding vines to ensure purity and flavour. In the cellar, the Fairview team worked with a gentle touch. They included a small portion of whole bunches during fermentation to bring texture and subtle spice. Minimal oak ageing kept the focus on fruit and freshness. Each choice honoured the natural character of the vineyard, allowing the Grenache to speak for itself.
