✨ Technical Specifications
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.
