in the vineyard : Fairview presents the amazing tastes, sights and sounds of the La Capra festival. Each glass will transport you to a magical place where the wine flows freely, laughter fills the air and you dance until the sunrise.

Fruit for the 2010 Viognier was sourced from vineyards on the Fairview farm and the Agter-Paarl. Both sites are trellised and grown on predominantly decomposed granite soils.

in the cellar : The grapes were whole bunch pressed and most of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks. A small portion of the wine was barrel fermented, adding mouthfeel and complexity. The wine was allowed 6 months lees contact in tank prior to bottling.
