✨ Technical Specifications
Spier's 'The Yellowwood' Organic Rosé is produced in the Coastal Region of South Africa, utilizing organically grown grapes. The blend typically features red varieties such as Shiraz, which are harvested and processed with minimal skin contact to achieve its characteristic pale pink color. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity. The Coastal Region's diverse soils and maritime influences contribute to the balanced structure of the wine.

Acquired and revitalized in the 1990s by the Enthoven family, the estate has evolved into a global leader in regenerative agriculture, ethical sustainability, and community-centered viticulture. Sourcing fruit from prime terroirs across Stellenbosch and the greater Coastal Region, Spier crafts a versatile portfolio ranging from vibrant, everyday varietals to complex, award-winning cuvées. The estate is particularly renowned for its acclaimed '21 Gables' single-varietal expressions of Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside its innovative, terroir-driven 'Creative Block' blends.
