SERVE WITH

WINE MAKING

WINEMAKER
Johan Jordaan

ORIGIN
Western Cape

TERROIR / SOIL
Combination of decomposed granite and sandstone; this contributes structure and fruit concentration respectively.

VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS
The climate of each vineyard site varies greatly as their proximity from the cold Atlantic Ocean falls between 20 and 100km. This allows the winemaker to make different styles of wine from the same grape, blending these together for a more complex taste. The trellised vines range in age from 8 to 20 years.

WINEMAKING
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, de-stemmed and crushed to stainless-steel tanks. After two days of cold soaking, alcoholic fermentation began. Pump-overs resulted in the extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. Malolactic fermentation was done with 20% of the wine in neutral French oak barrels and the remainder in tanks with French oak staves to enhance the wine’s flavour profile and length.

AWARD WINNING

The critics love them too! The Spier Canned Sauvignon Blanc 2020 and Spier Canned Rosé 2020 both recently received Gold at the prestigious Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, while the Spier Canned Merlot 2018 received Silver

CONVENIEnCE

Not only are they quick to chill — but they’re also light and save space: much easier, in other words, to stack, pack and carry than bottles (there’s also no risk of broken glass!). This makes them ideal for picnics, events or after a long hike. And there’s no reason for the connoisseurs to worry: these cans retain all the aromas and flavours that Spier’s bottled wines are renowned for. 


GREEN CREDENTIALS

So what gives these cans their green credentials? Well, as they’re made of aluminium, they’re infinitely recyclable; they also have a smaller carbon footprint than glass bottles.
