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.
🍾 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.
