Fariview rosé

Fairview is situated on the lower slopes of Mt. Paarl, which is more sheltered from the moderating maritime influence than nearby Stellenbosch. Fairview has been planted with vines since 1699, when it was known by the name of Bloemkwoolfontein (Cauliflower Mountain). Fortunately, its name was changed to Fairview by an English owner at the beginning of the 20th century.  The property was bought by the grandfather of current owner, Charles Back, in 1937, and was subsequently run by his father, Cyril.  Charles has run it for the past 25 years.  Vibrant pink in colour, the nose is bursting with perfumes of ripe summer berries which follow through to the fresh, juicy palate and clean, crisp dry fruit.
