Product information "Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd 2021"
The Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd is an unusual white wine blend of Chenin Blanc (69%), Palomino (16%) and Grenache Blanc (15%), some of whose grapes come from old vines. The white wine sparkles in the glass in a bright straw yellow, which changes to a light green at the rim. The scent of wild buchu, yellow fruits and mineral tones rises to the nose. On the palate, notes of green apples provide a fruity component, while the crisp acidity gives the Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd a great mouthfeel. "Ploegperd", by the way, means "plough horse" in Afrikaans, and the name of the wine is reminiscent of earlier times when horses were used to work in the vineyards. Enjoy the Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd best pure or with dishes of grilled fish, seafood or chicken.

The Fairview Winery Combines Tradition and Innovation
Fairview was one of the first wineries in South Africa and was founded in Paarl at the foot of Paarl Mountain in 1693. The first Fairview wine was produced six years later. In 1937, the estate was purchased by the Back family and restored. Today it is run by the third generation, by Charles Back – who is always on the lookout for exciting terroir for unique wine creations. Charles Back attaches great importance to sustainable winegrowing, so that the grapes can mature optimally and produce innovative Fairview wines.
The Mascot of Fairview is the Goat
Besides good wine, Fairview has another passion. Land not suitable for viticulture is used as pasture for the goats of Fairview. In addition to wine, Fairview Goats Cheese has been a delicacy on the estate since 1980. But not only the wine and the delicious cheese attract tourists to the winery. The animals themselves are an attraction as well, especially the young animals get young and old alike excited every year. The connection to the animals is reflected in the logo of the winery. The Fairview Goat Tower, the home of the goats, is depicted on it.
Fairviews Great Variety of Wines
The majority of the 300 hectares of vineyards is cultivated with red grape varieties. The noble red products are the flagship of Fairview. Irrespective of this, the estate is particularly diverse in its wine production. In addition to the classic South African grape varieties such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage, the estate also produces exotic varieties such as Malbec and Carignan. Thus, the estate offers a great variety of wines and innovative creations, paired with a long tradition. Fairview's team of winemakers always succeeds in astonishing the wine lover.
