Fairview is situated on the lower slopes of Mount Paarl, which is
more sheltered from the moderating maritime influence than
nearby Stellenbosch. Vines were planted here as early as 1699.
The property was bought by the grandfather of current owner
Charles Back in 1937. Fairview has a reputation for consistent
quality across a range of innovative styles, using both classic and
unusual varieties, and leads the field in South Africa in matching
varieties to specific sites. The Fairview estate now has a total of 680
hectares of vineyard over four appellations: Paarl (350 hectares),
Swartland (155 hectares), Darling (140 hectares) and Stellenbosch
(35 hectares). This vineyard ownership in so many different regions
allows Charles to produce a wide range of wines, from grapes
grown in optimal conditions. In 2014, Charles received a lifetime
achievement award from the International Wine Challenge.
