The careful cultivation and maturation of Spier Merlot

The Merlot grapes for this Spier Signature Collection wine are grown in a cooler area of ​​Stellenbosch. This is essential for preserving the grapes' softness. The grapes benefit from clay-rich soil that remains moist for extended periods, ensuring they always receive sufficient nutrients. After hand-harvesting and the vinification process, 20% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, while the remaining 80% is aged in stainless steel vats with oak staves. This results in a wine with added power and depth.
