Information about "Spier Frans K. Smit Red 2018"
With a rich berry-red color and a ruby ring, the Spier Frans K. Smit Red offers an irresistible bouquet of aromatic cedar, ripe berries, and juicy cherries, accented by a light touch of mint. It presents remarkable complexity on the palate, characterized by a dense structure and a silky mid-palate. Cabernet Franc contributes lovely richness with sweet fruit hints and a creamy mouthfeel, while Petit Verdot ensures harmonious balance and exceptional structure. Elegance is defined by the wine's soft tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long and smooth finish that delights the senses.
Under the expertise of winemaker Frans Smit, Spier has evolved from a modest winery in the 1980s to a distinguished Stellenbosch producer, leveraging three centuries of winemaking tradition.
