Product Notes

Crafted in South Africa's revered vineyards, Spier Creative Block 5 wine is an elite combination of Bordeaux-style red blends, presenting a compelling harmony of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Exuding a deep ruby red colour, this wine tantalises the senses with a complex bouquet of plum, black berries, and spice notes. The sublime palate is a true symphony, moving from the fruity notes to elegant spicy flavours. Aged in French oak barrels, the stunning texture of this wine culminates in a graceful, lengthy finish. Perfect for those discerning palettes appreciative of robust, full-bodied wines.

Tasting Notes

Blackberry and currant is supported by cedar, dark chocolate and fennel hints that flow into a vibrant palate with great balance and dense tannins. The taste will be enhanced by ageing.
