✨ Technical Specifications
Spier Farm House Organic Rosé is produced from organically certified vineyards in the Coastal Region of South Africa. The wine is typically crafted from red grape varieties, often featuring Shiraz, grown in soils ranging from decomposed granite to shale. Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit characteristics and vibrant acidity. The resulting style is dry, light- to medium-bodied, characterized by fresh red berry notes and a clean, crisp finish reflecting the maritime-influenced climate of the Coastal Region.
🍾 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.
