"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 dryland farm vineyards are nurtured in deep red decomposed granite soils with a high clay percentage on the southern slopes of the Bottelary Hills. The vineyard was planted in 2014 on Richter99 rootstock at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level. Here, the vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate, with the temperatures lowered by the cooling effect of prevailing winds and sea breezes. The selected site provided 10-12 tons per hectare.
about the harvest: The grapes were hand-harvested in the cool hours of the early morning to retain freshness.
in the cellar : At the cellar, skin contact was limited to 4 hours and the free-run juice drained off to settle overnight before inoculation. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at ±12-14ºC. After fermentation, the wine matured on its lees for seven months to develop the mouthfeel of the wine’s palate.
