Fairview Petite Sirah

The Fairview Petite Sirah comes from a vineyard planted and trained in 2004 on the upper slopes of Paarl Mountain. The vines grow on weathered granite soils, and the warm climate fosters the variety’s intense character, with deep color and a robust tannin structure.

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Regular pumping over—up to three times a day—ensures the extraction of color and concentration. Since Petite Sirah is naturally high in tannins, the wine is pressed before fermentation is complete to balance the extraction. It is then aged for 24 months in specially toasted French and American oak barrels, 40% of which are new French barriques.

On the nose, the wine is complex, with ripe plums, a salty note of dried black olives, and spicy hints of oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, with dark fruit and warm spice. Robust tannins lend it structure and lead into a long, dry finish.

The Fairview Petite Sirah pairs particularly well with slow-braised beef, lamb shank, and hearty stews. Hearty winter dishes and grilled meats also harmonize with its dark fruit and distinctive structure.

Product recommendation

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.
