Lusciously golden in the glass, this elegant dessert wine opens with bold aromas of ripe apricot, peach, honeysuckle, and sweet white grapes. The palate offers layers of juicy stone fruit and vibrant citrus, beautifully balanced by a creamy, unctuous texture and lifted by a bright streak of acidity. With its natural sweetness and exceptional aging potential, Fairview La Beryl Blanc 2024 is a decadent treat on its own, or perfectly paired with rich desserts or a perfectly ripened Fairview Camembert.
Crafting La Beryl Blanc is a true labor of love. We handpick each bunch at perfect ripeness, dry the grapes on straw mats until raisined, then gently press and ferment the concentrated juice for up to six months. This slow, patient process captures the intense sweetness and complexity that defines this elegant, late-harvest dessert wine.

Fairview is a working farm, housing a collection of micro-businesses all sharing in a common goal – to craft artisanal and sustainable produce, with a focus on fine wine and cheese. Everything they do is driven by their philosophy of being honest, honoring their heritage and ensuring their ingenuity. Eager to explore a wider range of wines using grapes grown in optimal conditions, Charles Back abandoned the estate wine concept in the 1980s, choosing rather to “go where the terroir is”. Today, they are one of the few farms that proudly own all their own vineyards, with land in Paarl, Darling, Swartland and Stellenbosch.
