Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd Chenin Blanc 2024 from Piekenierskloof is a fresh yet layered South African white wine with striking character and finesse. Bright light straw in color with subtle green tints, it opens with an expressive nose of sorrel flower, yellow stone fruit, and a salty sea-breeze freshness that gives the wine a distinctive coastal lift.
Notes of minerality add further complexity, while flavors of crunchy winter melon and subtle oak unfold gently on the palate. Despite its fresh and vibrant style, this Chenin Blanc offers surprising depth, with beautifully balanced layers, crisp natural acidity, and impressive length. Dry, polished, and refreshing, Fairview Bloemcool Ploegperd Chenin Blanc is an elegant Piekenierskloof white wine for those who appreciate purity, texture, and a mineral-driven finish.

Fairview is a working farm, home to a collection of micro-businesses that all share a common goal: to craft artisanal, 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 embracing 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 instead to “go where the terroir is.” Today, Fairview is one of the few farms that proudly owns all its own vineyards, with land in Paarl, Darling, Swartland, and Stellenbosch.
