Fairview Paarl Viognier from South Africa is a dry white still wine crafted from 100% Viognier grapes. This bright gold wine offers enticing aromas of honeysuckle, lime, and pear, complemented by subtle spicy oak. The palate is rich and complex, revealing flavours of honeycomb, apricot, and orange, leading to a fresh finish. Vinified with a blend of stainless steel and French oak fermentation, followed by nine months on lees, it achieves a creamy texture. This versatile wine is vegan and vegetarian-friendly, pairing beautifully with poultry, rich fish, or mild cheeses.

Vinification
The grapes were harvested by hand in the early morning and whole-bunch pressed with only the free run juice used. The Darling portion comprised 36% of the final blend and was fermented in stainless steel. The richer Paarl fruit made up the remaining 64% and was fermented in French oak barrels, 10% of which was new. After fermentation, the wine was left to mature on its lees, with regular stirring (bâttonage). The wine was racked off the lees after 9 months and the components blended prior to filtration and bottling.
Flavour profile
This bright gold Viognier offers enticing aromas of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and citrus, balanced by subtle spicy oak. The palate is rich and complex, revealing delightful flavours of honey, apricot, and orange, leading to a fresh finish.
