✨ Technical Specifications
Drawing fruit from coastal and inland sites across the Western Cape, Spier shapes this rosé through gentle whole-bunch handling and cool temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to retain aromatic vibrancy. While Spier's heritage in Stellenbosch traces back to 1692, contemporary expressions leverage diverse microclimates—cooled by Atlantic breezes and the seasonal southeasterly winds—to maintain brisk natural acidity. Fermented dry without oak influence, the style emphasizes crisp red berry aromas, citrus undertones, and a clean mineral backbone reflective of ancient shale and decomposed granite soils.
