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!
Treatment in the cellar
The grapes were harvested by hand, pre-cooled, destemmed and sorted individually to remove unwanted berries. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for up to 21 days. Malolactic fermentation and ageing took place for 18 months in 300-litre French oak barrels (60% first use, the rest second use). Before blending, the wines were matured individually to meet the specific requirements of each grape variety and realise their full potential. The selection of barrels and the composition of the cuvée were determined by targeted tastings. Careful blending achieved perfect harmony between the five grape varieties.
