Ideology Shiraz / Mourvèdre 2020

Ideology /ˌʌɪdɪˈɒlədʒi/
noun: Ideas + Oenology = Ideology

A Spier farm exclusive, the Ideology range provides a blank canvas of distinct varietals and blends that captures our winemaker’s most thought-provoking ideas in each bottle. A classic Rhône-inspired blend of Shiraz and Mourvèdre, this spicy red is crafted from vines up to 20 years old.

TASTING NOTE | DOWNLOAD TASTING NOTE
On the nose, blackcurrant and raspberry are layered by subtle oak spice. Fine tannins move across the palate smoothly, supported by a long, lingering finish. The idea behind this wine is to enjoy it with a charcuterie board or bistro-style fare such as a flavourful cassoulet.

WINEMAKER

Heidi Dietstein

ORIGIN

Coastal Region – Darling, Stellenbosch, Cape Town

TERROIR / SOIL

Terroir ranges from deep decomposed granite soils with clay subsoil to weathered shale. The medium soil fertility leads to medium growth and medium to low yields.

VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS

These vines are 12 – 20 years old and supplementary drip irrigation is used in extreme drought conditions. The aftermath of the drought did present us with low and concentrated yields with medium- to full-bodied wines with balanced fruit
aromas.

WINEMAKING

Handpicked grapes were crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Varieties were fermented individually and matured in French oak barrels (20% new, 50% second fill, 30 % third fill) for 12 months before tasting and blending.
