Description
The Fairview Petite Sirah 2022 impresses with its inky depth and seductive aromas. Notes of vanilla, plum, and black cherry arise, inviting you to explore its complexity. It delivers a beautifully smooth and creamy mouthfeel, with robust tannins presenting intriguing flavors of black olives and delicate spices. Petite Sirah, or Durif, is a unique varietal that originated from the crossing of Syrah and Peloursin, first introduced by François Durif in France in 1880. Its rich color and superb tannin structure make it excellent for blending. While it flourishes in California and Australia, it was first introduced to South Africa by Charles Back, who recognized its potential during his travels. The warm South African climate proves ideal for growing Petite Sirah, making this wine the exclusive version available in the country.
