✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Spier Signature Shiraz is an approachable, fruit-forward red wine produced from grapes grown in the Coastal Region of South Africa. The region's diverse terroir, characterized by decomposed granite and shale soils influenced by maritime breezes, contributes to the wine's profile. Typically made from 100% Shiraz, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged for 8 to 12 months using a combination of French and American oak staves and older barrels to retain primary fruit character while adding subtle spice.
🍾 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.
