‘Regenerative agriculture is my life’s work. I believe that all health stems from the soil. These organic wines are the result of an ongoing collaborative journey with the Spier team. Come and visit me for a farm immersion and a tasting of our collection of fine wines.’ – Angus McIntosh

in the vineyard : The differences in altitude, aspect, solar radiation and wind exposure result in significant mesoclimate differences over short distances. This, coupled with variations in soil (mainly Escourt), creates a terroir that ensures full and complex wines with unique character and style.

in the cellar : The organically grown Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes used in this wine were hand harvested early in the morning in 8 kg lug boxes. The natural yeast flora of the grapes completed the fermentation in a combination of open top and roller French- oak barrels. Thereafter, the two cultivars were pressed and blended and aged for 12 months. The best barrels were selected upon organoleptic evaluation. A low- intervention approach was used throughout the winemaking process. The wine was bottled on site and aged for a further 6 months before release.
