Product information "Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd 2022"
The Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd shines in the glass in a powerful straw yellow colour. Some of the grapes used for the blend of Palomino (55%), Chenin Blanc (30%) and Grenache Blanc (15%) come from old vines. They produce an unusual white wine, of which only 2600 bottles were made. The bouquet reveals wonderful aromas of yellow fruit and mineral nuances. The white wine is complex and fresh on the palate and impresses with fruity melon flavours as well as a hint of oak. The Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd was matured in a combination of oak, clay amphorae and stainless steel tanks. This white wine blend is best enjoyed with poultry, seafood or fish. But the Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd is also a pleasure on its own. Incidentally, the name means "plough horse" in Afrikaans and is a reminder that horses were once used to work in the vineyard.

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.
