"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 : A combination of decomposed granite and sandstone contribute structure and fruit concentration to the trellised, 8- to 20-year-old vines. Climate variations due to the 20-100 km distance from the cold Atlantic Ocean allows the winemaker to make different styles of wine from the same grape, blending these for a more complex taste.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness.

in the cellar : The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed in stainless steel tanks. Cultured and natural yeast helps to unlock the fragrant fruit profile of the grapes. After fermentation, 20% of the wine was matured in French oak barrels for 8 to 10 months, and the remaining 80% was matured in stainless steel tanks with French oak staves before blending.
