"Spier Signature wines capture in a glass what Spier does best: making quality wines that are true to each grape variety’s unique flavour. Every time."

in the vineyard : The vertical trellised vines were planted between 14 and 22 years ago on undulating hills of decomposed granite and weathered sandstone. Where the clay subsoils are too structured and porous, supplementary irrigation is used to ensure balanced foliage and even ripening. These vineyards are planted up to 80 km from the coast with geographical influence from mountains and the cold Atlantic coast.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at optimal maturity.

in the cellar : Grapes were de-stemmed and gently crushed to stainless steel tanks. The use of cultured and natural yeast helped to unlock the perfumed fruit profile of the grapes. After fermentation, 20% of the wine was matured in neutral French oak barrels for 8 to 10 months; the remainder matured in stainless steel tanks with French oak staves.
