β¨ 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.
