Product Notes

Spier Creative Block 5 is a robust, exquisitely blended South African wine. Combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it boasts a rich, dark ruby hue. Its nose teems with blackcurrant and dark chocolate, coupled with hints of clove and mint. On the palate, lavish flavours of ripe plums and violets come alive, balanced by firm tannins culminating in a dry, smooth finish. Matured in wood for 18 months, this wine has a sophisticated depth of character. Ideal with stews and steaks, the Spier Creative Block 5 is thorougly impressive.

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.
