When it comes to Grenache, most wine enthusiasts immediately think of Grenache red wine, or Grenache Noir. Yet, as a dedicated Fairview follower, you're already in on the secret, the lesser known, but equally captivating, Grenache Blanc!
While it might not boast the fame of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc has quietly carved out its place in the South African market, offering a range of delightful expressions.
The grapes for our Fairview Grenache Blanc were harvested early and whole-bunch pressed to keep fruit purity. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and older French oak, with extended lees contact for gentle texture. After 10 months, the final blend shows freshness and a soft, rounded finish.
