Product Notes

Spier Creative Block 5 is a wonderfully engaging South African red blend wine, offering delectable layers of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum accented with earthy undertones. The palate seduces with its velvety texture, balanced by supple tannins and a gentle acidity. A mélange of French oak spice lends a sophisticated touch, ending on a lingering finish. This wine's complexity is reflective of its composition - Shiraz, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc – each contributing their unique character. Ideal for maturing, Spier Creative Block 5 is an exceptional choice for those seeking a wine that embodies both rich fruit flavours and structured elegance.

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.
