Fairview Wines would be nothing if it wasn’t for the dedicated and hard-working winemaking team. Led by chief winemaker Anthony de Jager and winemakers Stephanie Wiid and Annette Van Zyl, together our Fairview stronghold of 500 farm and cellar workers ensure that ingenuity perpetually flows from our cellar and into every single bottling, all the while keeping true to our heritage to produce honest wines with a palpable difference. With everything we do, our common goal is to ensure wine education and fun are a key part of your experience.
The legend goes that some errant members of Fairview’s long-established goat herd once escaped from their paddock into the Fairview vineyards after Charles Back’s young son Jason accidentally left the gate open. The little group happily roamed among the vineyards, showing rare discernment by selecting some of the ripest berries from the vines. Inspired by this tale, we now use these berries in the making of our Goats Do Roam wine.
