Tasting Notes
Spier Creative Block 3 2018. From the diverse Coastal Region of South Africa, stretching from Darling to Stellenbosch, this bottle combines grapes grown on decomposed granite over clay, influenced by the cooling coastal climate. Crafted primarily from Shiraz with a dash of Mourvèdre and Viognier, the wine’s nose is rich with inky dark fruit, complemented by subtle floral hints, wild game nuances, and a touch of coriander seed. The palate delivers an intense, juicy experience, with ripe plum and blackberry flavors driving through well-defined, fresh acidity and just the right amount of oak, showcasing elegant structure and complexity.
