Spier, 2006 Spicer Private Collection Reserve Pinotage.

Spier Private Collection is their special occasion award-winning wine range. These wines are true to character but have a unique style that challenges convention, resulting in truly distinctive wines with a host of international accolades.

Grapes from selected vineyard blocks were hand harvested at optimum ripeness, meticulously sorted, gently crushed and cooled to 10-20ºC. Three days of cold soaking preceded temperature controlled fermentation; 15% of which occurred in open top oak fomenters. The wine matures in a combination of French and American oak; with individual barrels selected for blending.

Deep ruby colouring hints at a rich and complex wine. Ripe cherry and subtle oak- derived spice show with roasted vanilla, banana, toffee and caramel on a tantalizing nose.
