Spier wine estate
The historic Spier farm, founded in 1692, is situated in South Africa's picturesque Cape region. Its wine cellar is considered one of the first, if not the very first, in Stellenbosch, now an internationally recognised wine mecca. The farm comprises 600 hectares, with livestock farming and vegetable growing alongside viticulture. The wine business's conversion to organic production took place over four years and was completed with certification in 2015.
Making good wine while investing in people and the environment: these were the intentions with which the Enthoven family took over the farm in 1993, and they have remained true to them to this day. Experienced cellar master Frans Smit joined the estate in 1995. His principle is 'to get the best out of every grape as gently as possible'. Together with his team, Frans Smit has succeeded in doing so. In recent years, Spier's wines have received numerous awards and accolades both at home and internationally.
The mild, balanced, almost Mediterranean climate of the Cape region and its fertile soils produce both elegant, aromatic wines and powerful wines with ageing potential. The estate offers several wine ranges. Alongside 'Good Natured', an exceptionally appealing introduction with lovely substance, dedicated to the Cape region's unique biodiversity in collaboration with WWF South Africa, the choice includes 'Yellow Wood' (South Africa's protected national tree) and 'First Stone'.
