Description
Harvested on 1 March 2024 from the decomposed granite slopes of Fairview farm in Paarl, this vintage combines Petite Sirah with small additions of traditional port varieties like Tempranillo and Souzão for depth and complexity. After a short, flavour-focused fermentation, the wine was fortified with unaged brandy spirit to preserve its natural sweetness and character. It matured for 10–12 months in older French oak, with a touch of 7-year barrel-aged reserve wine blended in before bottling.
In the glass, it shows a dark ruby red hue with aromas of ripe plum, raisins, and hints of fruitcake spice. The palate is rich yet balanced, with warming dark fruit, gentle tannins, and a smooth, sweet finish. It’s perfect with dessert, dark chocolate, or a slice of Blue Rock cheese for a savory-sweet contrast.
