Spier's Golden Grapes
This year’s 26th Veritas Awards have once again smiled upon us.
With over 1200 entries from a group of truly remarkable winemakers, three of our wines struck Double Gold, with four more receiving an exciting Gold! It was a proud moment that had our winemakers beaming from ear to ear!

“It’s an amazing feeling to have our hard work recognised among such a stellar company," says Our Cellar Master Johan Jordaan. "And let me tell you, with so much talent in one room at the gala, there’s no doubt in my mind: South African wine is definitely on the up and up!”
As the curtains fall on the 2023 awards season, Johan reflects on the regenerative farming journey Spier is currently championing: "Recently, Tim Atkin awarded Medals of Excellence to five Spier wines in his 2022 South Africa Special Report, while eight of our wines brought home gold medals at Mundus Vini Spring Tasting in March, including Best South African White Wine in Retail Markets. These nods of approval reaffirm that we’re on the right path - a path to goodness from vine to glass."
