Information about "Spier Creative Block 5 Magnum 2016"
The Spier Creative Block 5 Magnum impresses with aromas of blackberries, cherries and blackcurrants, accompanied by notes of cedar wood, dark chocolate and fennel. The lively palate captivates with its excellent balance and dense tannins. The wine is characterised by a balanced ratio of fruit, volume, wood notes and tannins, without losing the characteristic properties and unique origin of each grape variety.
The grapes come from both Darling on the West coast and Stellenbosch. This wine is sure to impress!
Hand-harvested and pre-cooled, the grapes were crushed and individually sorted to remove any unwanted berries. Fermentation took place for up to 21 days in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation and aging occurred for 18 months in 300-liter French oak barrels (60% new and the remainder second-fill). Each varietal was vinified individually to achieve its full potential, with careful barrel selection and cuvée blending guided by targeted tastings.
