✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1692, Spier is one of South Africa's oldest and most historic wine farms, located along the Eerste River in the heart of the Stellenbosch region. Under the stewardship of the Enthoven family since 1993, the estate marries its rich heritage with a progressive commitment to regenerative farming, biodiversity, and organic practices. Spier is celebrated for its diverse portfolio of expressive wines, most notably its acclaimed '21 Gables' range, which pays homage to the farm's historic Cape Dutch architectural heritage through exceptional single-varietal Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon. With a winemaking philosophy centered on minimal intervention, Spier consistently crafts elegant, terroir-driven wines that capture the unique maritime-influenced climate of the Coastal Region.
