SOUTH AFRICAN WINE

SPIER is one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa with a recorded
history dating back to 1692. Its rich cultural heritage includes a restored Manor House, and impressive collection of Cape Dutch gables and the oldest dated wine cellar in the country. While rooted in this heritage, Spier has a vibrant and conscious energy. The winery is one of the most awarded in the country and share a great passion for quality and sustainability in everything they do.

WINEMAKING From vineyard to cellar, the grapes are handled with

utmost care. They are picked by hand, and immediately cooled when they arrive at the cellar. The grapes are then hand-sorted and, in spite of strict vineyard practices, up to 10% do not make it past the sorting tables. Special attention is paid to the pressing and crushing processan area the Cellar Master believes is critical to the quality of the wine.
