Fairview Caldera

The Fairview Caldera is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache Noir, and Mourvèdre. The grapes come from select vineyards in Darling, Paarl, and Piekenierskloof, with Shiraz making up the largest portion and Grenache Noir and Mourvèdre adding fruit, spice, and structure.

The grapes were harvested early in the morning in February and sorted by hand. The individual grape varieties were fermented separately in open French oak foudres. Twenty percent whole Grenache Noir grapes were used to enhance the fruity and spicy character. The wine then aged for nine months in French oak, stainless steel tanks, and foudres before the cuvée was blended and bottled.

On the nose, the Caldera reveals darker, complex aromas of wild berries, fynbos herbs, pepper, and hearty spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and fresh, with flavors of red cherry, spices, and subtle oak notes. The long, dry, and slightly tart finish underscores its spicy, distinctly food-friendly character.

The Caldera pairs excellently with grilled meats and Mediterranean dishes. This spicy, fresh cuvée also makes a perfect companion for slow-braised dishes.

Product recommendation

Backsberg Pumphouse Shiraz
Pumphouse Shiraz is a specially crafted cuvée selected on the basis of varietal character and intensity. Black cherry, raspberry fruits and rich mocha aromas are given added complexity via subtle aniseed and vanillin tones derived from maturation and small French and American oak barriques. The palate has weight and depth due to layers of fruit tannins and sheer flavour intensity.Enjoy the Backsberg Pumphouse Shiraz together with a hearty stew or roasts.

Spier Signature Shiraz
The Spier Signature Shiraz comes from carefully tended vineyards in the Stellenbosch region.A short fermentation at low temperatures gives the South African wine a strong character, with delicious fruit flavors. Two thirds of the wine is then matured for around six to eight months in a mixture of French and American oak, which rounds off the wine nicely and gives it extra complexity. Wood and fruit remain perfectly balanced. In the glass, the Spier Signature Shiraz has a bright ruby red color. The nose is dominated by wonderfully intense aromas of sweet fruit, marmalade, rosemary and thyme. There is also a slightly peppery note. On the nose, the red wine is elegant, slightly spicy with light tannins. It is supported by a delicious vanilla aroma, berries, plums and pepper.This dry red wine is a great combination with grilled beef, lamb and game, and is also delicious with duck and quail.
