The Spier Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Shiraz is a red blend from the Coastal Region of South Africa. The wine typically combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz grapes sourced from diverse vineyard sites. Fermentation generally takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging with French oak components for approximately 8 to 12 months. This production method emphasizes a fruit-forward profile with soft tannins and integrated oak influence, characteristic of the region's approachable blending style.

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.
