✨ Technical Specifications
Spier De-Alcoholised Shiraz is produced in the Coastal Region of South Africa. Made from Shiraz grapes, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation before the alcohol is gently removed using vacuum distillation technology to preserve the varietal's natural aromatics and flavor profile. The Coastal Region's Mediterranean climate and diverse soils contribute to the base wine's characteristic dark fruit notes and spice before de-alcoholisation.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1692 along the banks of the Eerste River in Stellenbosch, Spier is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms. Acquired in 1993 by the Enthoven family, the estate has transformed into a benchmark of ecological stewardship, operating under certified organic viticulture and holistic regenerative farming. The vineyards thrive on decomposed granite, Table Mountain sandstone, and alluvial loam, benefiting from cooling maritime breezes off False Bay. Spearheaded by managing director Frans Smit and cellar master Johan Jordaan, the winemaking philosophy balances non-interventionist, terroir-driven cellar practices with precise modern craftsmanship. Renowned for its versatility and focus on classic Cape cultivars, Spier's portfolio is anchored by benchmark whites, notably its acclaimed Chenin Blanc expressions—ranging from the vibrant, fruit-forward Signature Collection to the sophisticated, barrel-fermented 21 Gables and Creative Block bottlings—alongside low-intervention organic cuvées.
