SpierCreative Block 3 Red Blend 2017 (R143.16 Per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

Subtle perfumed notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and raspberry, pomegranate and mulberry are followed by spicy flavours of black pepper and coriander. The silky, rich mid-palate is complemented with concentrated fruit and dense, silky tannins.

Product Features

• Grapes were picked by hand before de-stemming and hand-sorting to remove green, pink and raisin berries. 
• Fermentation in tank took up to two weeks. 
• Malolactic fermentation and maturation took place in 90% French and 10% American oak 300L barrels (half first fill, half-second fill) for 16 months. 
• The wines were made individually to address each varietal’s need for undivided attention and to ensure that the varietals' unique characteristics and site expression were fully forthcoming. 
• Selective tasting from the barrels determined the composition of the blend. 
• The expert blending of this Rhône-style blend has ensured harmony between the three varietals and the ultimate balance between fruit, palate volume, oak extract and tannin.
