The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
Another top-of-the-line wine in the Creative series, developed by the winemakers of South African winery Spier. For centuries, Spier has primarily produced varietal wines. These are wines made from just one grape variety. Spier has more than proven itself in this respect. After all, Spier wines are among the best-selling South African wines in this price range. Why? Because they're always good. Clear, pure, without nonsense. Simply a good wine. With 3 Creative Block Shiraz Mourvedre Viognier, Spier dedicated itself to blending wines. A long process, but the wait is rewarded. This bottle is more than a reward; it's perfection.
The number 3 in the 3 Creative Block Shiraz Mourvedre Viognier represents the use of three grape varieties in this fantastic blend from the Spier winery. Two distinctive red grapes were used for this red wine: Shiraz and Mourvedre, two grapes characterized by complexity, including hints of pepper and spice. The third grape is Viognier—yes, a white grape. This addition gives Spier's Creative Block a slightly fresher flavor and ensures the wine never becomes too heavy. As the name suggests: Creative. A beautiful red wine made from two red and one white grape variety.
Behold the versatility of the South African winery Spier. A perfect blend. A South African success. The craftsmanship of Spier is evident in everything. The nose is a sensational bouquet of delicate aromas. You clearly detect the presence of amarena cherries, chocolate, raisins, and blueberry jam. A delight for the nose. The taste is at least as pleasant as the aroma. When you take a sip, your taste buds are tickled. This is so delicious! You taste herbs, vanilla, pepper, and a hint of licorice. Complex yet delicious. A top performer in the Spier winery range. A fine addition to any wine lover's wine cabinet.
