Description
Fairview Back’s Blend White 2024 is a vibrant Cape white blend crafted from 65% Chenin Blanc, 18% Viognier, and 17% Grenache Blanc. Grapes were sourced from dryland bush vines in Darling and trellised Paarl vineyards, both rooted in decomposed granite soils. Harvested early in the morning to preserve freshness, the fruit was gently pressed, cold-fermented in stainless steel, and aged on fine lees for six months. A touch of oaked Chenin adds extra richness and depth.
Pale straw in colour, the wine brims with aromas of tropical fruit, stone fruit, and subtle floral notes. The palate is medium-bodied with a lively balance of sweet yellow fruit and crisp acidity, offering freshness and energy in every sip. Approachable and food-friendly, Fairview Back’s Blend White 2024 pairs beautifully with Southeast Asian cuisine, pork chops with caramelised apple, seafood, light pastas, risottos, and of course, Fairview’s award-winning goat’s cheese. Best enjoyed young, within the next year or two.
