The wine

Fairview's Sweet Red is a bold, port-style Cape red built on Durif with a little Tempranillo. Fortification locks in rich, sweet dark fruit.

Blackberry, black cherry, chocolate and dried fig fill a full, velvety palate. Sweet, concentrated fruit is warmed by spirit and carried on a long, spiced finish.

Perfect with chocolate puddings, mature cheese or a winter evening by the fire. Serve lightly chilled or at room temperature.

View all Fairview wines

Fairview is one of South Africa's best-loved estates, set on the slopes of Paarl Mountain in the Cape winelands. Under Charles Back, it has become famous for both its wines and its award-winning cheeses, with a herd of goats that has become an emblem of the farm. The range is as characterful as the man behind it.

The estate draws on vineyards across the Coastal Region, from Paarl and Darling to the Swartland, matching each variety to the site that suits it best. This spread lets Fairview work with everything from cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc to sun-loving Rhône reds. Quality and individuality run through every bottle.

Fairview champions the grapes that define the Cape, above all Chenin Blanc, Viognier and the country's own Pinotage. It also makes Méthode Cap Classique sparkling and richly sweet dessert wines. Each is made with skill, personality and a keen sense of place.

Approachable yet serious, Fairview wines deliver flavour and character in equal measure. They are dependable, distinctive and always good value. This is one of South Africa's true benchmark estates.
