SPIER CREATIVE BLOCK

Spiers award-winning wines blended from select vineyard blocks.

Spier Creative Block wines take their name from a Spier Arts Academy* project that combines artworks from different artists to create something unique. These wines are constructed in much the same way. Our winemaking team selects grapes from various vineyard blocks. They are blended to create wines far greater than the sum of its parts. * Spier Arts Academy aims to stimulate and support the South African Art community. The Creative Block project invites artists, both established and emerging, to create artworks on small blank blocks. Collectors can select, arrange and rearrange these to create a new whole.
