Vintage Report
The 2023 vintage in South Africa has been rated as excellent with a score of 90 points from Robert Parker. The wines are currently still youthful and have present tannins, indicating good potential for further aging.
Spier Estate, a winery to fall in love with. The estate boasts 21 buildings with 21 different gables. One of Spier Estate's series, the 21 Gables Collection, has also graced these 21 gables. The estate and its buildings date back to 1692 when founder Arnout Janz, a German colonist, purchased part of an old riverbed. Winegrowing was emerging in South Africa, and he saw the potential of the fertile riverbed. From that moment on, Spier Estate became a reality. Over the years, there have been the necessary modernizations, but always with the preservation of the estate as it was back then.
Spier Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
Besides the 21 Gables Collection, there are several wine series, including the Signature Collection. This series was specially developed to give Spier its signature to world wines. And they certainly succeeded. A beautiful example from this Signature Collection is the Spier Cabernet Sauvignon. While Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape variety that enjoys global success, Spier manages to put its own unique spin on it. The grapes are planted in somewhat poorer soil. This is important for Cabernet Sauvignon, otherwise, only the leaves of the vines might thrive. Furthermore, the warm daytime temperature is crucial. The warm sunshine allows the grapes to develop optimally. After hand-harvesting and pressing, 20% of the wine is aged in oak barrels for 8 to 10 months. The remainder is aged in stainless steel barrels containing oak staves, giving the wine even more power and suppleness. The result?What does the Spier Cabernet Sauvignon taste like?
A wonderfully powerful red wine! The color is deep dark red with a purple rim. The nose offers full aromas of black cherries, currants, and blackberries interspersed with notes of vanilla, licorice, and a hint of paprika. The taste is powerful, full-bodied, yet smooth! Pleasant nuances of ripe black fruit, newspaper, vanilla, spices, and a light leather undertone. The long, intense finish ensures a beautiful finale!Product details
