Spier Farmer Angus Organic Red Blend 2020

This rich and robust wine showcases ripe, juicy dark fruits such as mulberry, and dark chocolate flavours. The palate is enhanced by subtle hints of fennel, with a touch of graphite adding complexity. The bold, smooth structure of the wine is complemented by velvety tannins and a long finish. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to decant the wine, allowing its full character to unfold.

‘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 for 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 open top and roller French-oak barrels. Thereafter, the two cultivars were pressed and blended together 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 2 years before release.
