✨ Technical Specifications
Spier Brut is a sparkling wine produced in the Coastal Region of South Africa, typically crafted in the traditional Méthode Cap Classique style. The blend generally consists of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grapes well-suited to the region's maritime-influenced climate, which helps retain natural acidity. Following secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine undergoes lees aging to develop subtle autolytic notes of brioche and toast, complementing its primary profile of crisp green apple, citrus, and mineral undertones.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1692 in Stellenbosch, Spier is one of South Africa's oldest and most historically significant wine farms, celebrated for its Cape Dutch architectural heritage boasting twenty-one historic gables. Acquired and revitalized in the 1990s by the Enthoven family, the estate has evolved into a global leader in regenerative agriculture, ethical sustainability, and community-centered viticulture. Sourcing fruit from prime terroirs across Stellenbosch and the greater Coastal Region, Spier crafts a versatile portfolio ranging from vibrant, everyday varietals to complex, award-winning cuvées. The estate is particularly renowned for its acclaimed '21 Gables' single-varietal expressions of Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside its innovative, terroir-driven 'Creative Block' blends.
