mehrere Informationen

The Fairview Petite Sirah is a full-bodied and opulent wine, which at the same time can show off a lot of elegance. With an almost ink-black colour, the glass releases seductive aromas of vanilla, winter spice cake and pickled pear. The palate is wonderfully silky, creamy and opulent, with a robust tannin structure and seductive nuances of cinnamon dates and fine spices. Petite Sirah (also known as Durif), is a natural cross between Syrah and the Peloursin variety. Discovered by François Durif in the South of France in 1880, Petite Sirah's intense colour and excellent tannin structure make it an excellent blending partner in cuvées. Today, this grape variety is mainly cultivated in California and Australia. Petite Sirah first became known in South Africa through Fairview's owner Charles Back, who tasted this grape variety while travelling and then introduced it to South Africa. South Africa's warm climate is ideal for Petite Sirah to thrive. This wine is the only Petite Sirah wine offered for sale in South Africa. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Fairview Petite Sirah were hand picked with great care. The berries were then selected at the sorting table with a great deal of know-how for the rest of the production process to ensure that no berries that had already been injured or burned by the sun entered the production process. Fermentation took place in open French barrels (foudre), after which the grape skins were gently pressed in the basket press. For 20 months, 60% of the wine matured in new French oak, 10% in new American oak and the rest in second and third barrels of French and American oak.
