What's in their glass this winter?
Whether you're looking for a trusted recommendation or an excuse to try something new, these hand-picked favourites take the guesswork out of choosing your next bottle. From vibrant whites to rich, comforting reds, there's a winter favourite waiting to be discovered at Spier Wine Farm.
After all, who better to recommend a wine than the people who craft it from vine to bottle?
Each one tells a different story, from fresh and fruit-forward to rich, savoury and made for slow evenings.
Tania Kleintjes, organic winemaker: Spier Good Natured Organic Sauvignon Blanc
"I love it because it's just so delicious and makes me think of the warmer days of summer. There's a great balance between fruit and texture, with a lovely full feel in the mouth. It's very fruit-forward and a glass that's hard to put down."
Anthony Kock, white winemaker: Spier Creative Block 5 Bordeaux-Style Blend
"It's rich and well-balanced. It pairs perfectly with the comfort food I'm enjoying at the moment, and it's made for cosy winter evenings."
Lizanne Jordaan, winemaker: Spier Creative Block 3 Rhone-Style Blend
"I love its savoury, spicy character. I'll have the first glass on its own, then enjoy it with a meal. It's a lovely wine to share."
Heidi Dietstein, red and Cap Classique winemaker: Spier Woolworths Merlot
"This wine has aged so well. It still has lovely primary notes, with great savoury notes coming through as well. The tannins are silky and smooth, and it's beautifully perfumed on the nose."
