Product information "Fairview Petite Sirah 2021"
The Fairview Petite Sirah is a full-bodied and opulent wine, which at the same time can show off a lot of elegance. With an almost ink-black colour, the glass releases seductive aromas of vanilla, winter spice cake and pickled pear. The palate is wonderfully silky, creamy and opulent, with a robust tannin structure and seductive nuances of cinnamon dates and fine spices.
Petite Sirah (also known as Durif), is a natural cross between Syrah and the Peloursin variety. Discovered by François Durif in the South of France in 1880, Petite Sirah's intense colour and excellent tannin structure make it an excellent blending partner in cuvées. Today, this grape variety is mainly cultivated in California and Australia. Petite Sirah first became known in South Africa through Fairview's owner Charles Back, who tasted this grape variety while travelling and then introduced it to South Africa. South Africa's warm climate is ideal for Petite Sirah to thrive. This wine is the only Petite Sirah wine offered for sale in South Africa.

Die Trauben für den Fairview Petite Sirah wurden mit großer Sorgfalt handgelesen. Die Beeren wurden anschließend am Sortiertisch mit jeder Menge Know-how für den weiteren Produktionsverlauf ausgelesen, um sicherzustellen, dass keine bereits verletzten oder von der Sonne verbrannten Beeren in die Produktion einlaufen. Die Fermentation fand in offenen französischen Fässern statt (foudre), woraufhin die Traubenschalen anschließend sanft in der Korbpresse gepresst wurden. Der Wein reifte 20 Monate lang zu 60% in neuer französischer Eiche, zu 10% in neuer amerikanischer Eiche und der restliche Anteil reifte in zweit- bzw. drittbefüllten Fässern aus französischer und amerikanischer Eiche.
