This is the seventh time Spier 21 Gables Pinotage has received a Gold at this competition, and the third time for Spier Creative Block 5, a Bordeaux-style red blend.
“We are delighted with these results. In particular, we were thrilled that our organic red blend, the Spier First Stone, received Gold. Making organic wines is in keeping with our ethically-, environmentally- and socially-conscious farming philosophy and this accolade recognises our team’s commitment to making world class organic wine,” says Cellar Master Frans Smit.
Spier also received four silver medals:
- Spier 21 Gables Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
