More details
The Fairview Caldera 2012 is a classic Rhône-style blend shaped by diverse vineyards across the Coastal Region. Grenache comes from a young Darling site planted in a cooler climate. The vines grow trellised and dryland farmed, giving fresh red fruit. The Shiraz and Mourvèdre come from Agter-Paarl and Swartland bush vines, which deliver small, concentrated berries.
The team picked all three varieties early in the morning. They hand-sorted the fruit and fermented each component in open-top French oak foudres. After fermentation, the wines matured separately in 2nd to 4th fill French oak for 14 months. The cellar team blended the components with care and bottled the wine with only a light filtration.
Caldera 2012 shows bright red fruit, cloves and pepper spice. The palate is smooth with a lingering, elegant finish. It captures the warm, Mediterranean style of Fairview wines and stands as a refined South African red with Rhône-inspired charm.
