Product recommendation

Alto Cabernet Sauvignon
The pure varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alto Wine Estate located in the Stellenbosch region is a lovely example of South African viticulture. Winemaker Bertho van der Westhuizen selects only the best grapes to produce this wine. The vines grow on soils consisting of decomposed granite, while the subsoils are clay, giving the Alto Cabernet Sauvignon its finesse and intense character.The wine is a deep dark red in colour, indicating its power. The Alto Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of dark fruit, cedar wood and spices in its spicy bouquet, along with mineral notes and nuances of dark chocolate. It is rich and concentrated on the palate, with a balanced structure. The fine tannins and the notes of dark fruit make this wine a wonderful taste experience and simultaneously emphasise its prolonged finish.The Alto Cabernet Sauvignon goes beautifully with steaks or roast lamb. It is also an ideal accompaniment to stews and gratins.

Spier Signature Sauvignon Blanc
The sauvignon loves the coolness of the nearby ocean, located only 25 km away from the vineyards of the sauvignon blanc. Thus, the average temperature here in the summer does not exceed about 22 ° C. In addition, opted for a planting on the southern slopes, which are in the southern hemisphere the coolest. This produces grapes with a wonderful freshness, perfect for a nice Sauvignon. By a slow cool fermentation process it gets his special fruit, so typical of sauvignon blanc. By a maturation on the yeast cells of a few months he will be extra strength and character, with a wonderful, exciting Sauvignon Blanc as a result.Colour: straw-yellowOpen aroma of passionfruit, pear and a hint of citrus, wonderfull aromatic.An open and exotic flavor of green figs, a hint of rhubarb, minerals and flint, with a large fresh finish.
