Product information "Fairview Winemaker’s Selection Homtini 2019"
The Fairview Winemaker's Selection Homtini shines in a dark red in the glass. The inviting bouquet unfolds wonderful aromas of red berries and cherries, surrounded by earthy and floral tones. Notes of raspberries and herbs are noticeable on the palate. A fresh acidity and noticeable but fine tannins give the blend of Sangiovese (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (10%) and Shiraz (10%) a great mouthfeel. The red wine matured for 24 months in French and American oak and is a wonderful food companion - whether dishes of Italian cuisine, pasta or dark meat: The Fairveiw Winemaker's Selection Homtini is always the right choice. The name, by the way, is a tribute to winemaker Anthony de Jager's Italian ancestors, who came to the Cape as silk farmers and crossed the Homtini Pass on the way. In their new home, the family turned to viticulture.

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.
