Product information "Fairview Limited Release Cyril Back 2020"
The Fairview Limited Release Cyril Back is something very special for the winery. Only the best barrels of the vintage were used for its production, as can be seen from its wonderful, elegant colour. This red wine blend of Shiraz (88%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (12%) is dark, deep Burgundy red in colour with a slight purple hue. Intense aromas of plums fill the nose and are surrounded by notes of salted olives and baking spices. On the palate, Fairview's flagship wine is full-bodied and fruity. Juicy blackberries and savoury spice aromas seduce the connoisseur's senses, paired with balanced acidity and pleasant tannins. The Fairview Limited Release Cyril Back is a tribute to the owner's father. Be sure to try the wine on its own or with savoury dishes with dark meat or game.

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.
