Fairview Primo Pinotage

Fairview is one of South Africa's most iconic family-owned wineries, founded in 1693 in the Paarl region. Renowned for its pioneering spirit and commitment to Rhône and South African varieties, Fairview has played a significant role in elevating Pinotage to international recognition through wines that combine authenticity, balance, and a strong sense of place.

Primo Pinotage represents Fairview's premium expression of South Africa's signature red grape. The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Coastal Region, where warm sunny days, cooling maritime influences, and granite-rich soils allow Pinotage to develop exceptional concentration while maintaining freshness and elegance.

The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in small batches before maturing in French oak barrels. Careful oak aging adds complexity and structure while preserving the variety's vibrant fruit character and distinctive spicy profile.

The result is a refined Pinotage that combines ripe black fruit, floral aromatics, polished tannins, and subtle oak influence, offering a modern interpretation of South Africa's flagship variety.
