✨ Technical Specifications
Cultivated across selected maritime and inland vineyard parcels within the Western Cape, this rosé expression reflects cooling breezes from the Atlantic and False Bay that moderate diurnal temperatures. Fruit is typically harvested early in the morning to preserve natural acidity and delicate aromatic precursors. Winemaking emphasizes gentle handling, involving brief skin contact to extract a pale pink hue followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to retain primary fruit freshness and tension without oak influence.
🍾 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.
