You want the bottle that makes a Friday night feel sorted. Spier Signature Shiraz is dark, smooth and generous, all ripe blackberry and plum with a little crack of black pepper and a whisper of smoke. It's full without being heavy, the kind of red that just gets on with making the food taste better. Fire up the grill, this one's already on your team.
Nose first: ripe dark berries, plum and a bit of sweet baking spice, with a curl of smoky oak behind it. Take a sip and it's round and full, dark fruit up front, then black pepper and a soft savoury edge that keeps it interesting. The tannins (that drying grip on your gums) are gentle and polished, so it slides rather than scrapes. It finishes warm and medium-long, dry the whole way through with no sugary aftertaste.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Spier is a working wine farm in Stellenbosch that's been at it since 1692, which makes it one of the oldest in South Africa. For this Shiraz they pull fruit from across the Western Cape, cooler coastal spots like Darling, Durbanville and Bot River plus warmer Paarl, so you get both the bright fruit and the ripe weight in one glass. Part of it spends time in French oak, which is where that gentle smoke and spice sneaks in.
