Spier Signature Shiraz – 750ml

Situated near Stellenbosch, Spier is one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. While rooted in this heritage, they’ve got a vibrant and conscious energy, and are home to one of the largest collections of contemporary South African art.

WINE MAKING

Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, gently crushed and destemmed to stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation lasted up to 12 days on the skins. A portion of the wine (20%) was transferred to neutral barrels and the balance to stainless-steel tanks with French-oak staves for malolactic fermentation and maturation. The wine matured for a minimum of 12months before blending.

Color: Deep ruby red.

Nose: Bright blackberry and blackcurrant fruit mingle on the nose, supported by cedar spice and dark fruit.

Mouth: The palate is vibrant, exuding a smooth richness thanks to the dense tannins

Food Match: Korma curry or mildly spiced rogan josh, or fire-cooked hamburgers with bacon and cheddar cheese.
