Story
Spier Winery, located in Stellenbosch, South Africa, is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and high-quality wines. Their merlot is a represenation of the perfectly balanced and smooth flavour that is traditional to the variety.
Tasting Notes
Pair Spier's Merlot with "Va! Laisse couler mes larmes," the poignant soprano aria from Massenet's Werther. The wine’s aromas of ripe red and blackberries, pomegranate, and cherry reflect the aria’s delicate expression of vulnerability and introspection. Subtle mint notes lend a refreshing counterpoint, much like the aria’s quiet strength amidst sorrow. On the palate, the medium body, bright acidity, and lively freshness echo the graceful balance of emotion and melody, making this pairing an elegant and evocative experience.
Food Pairing
This wine is the ideal companion for light lunches, hearty pizzas, flavourful vegetarian lasagnes, and to bring along to your favorite braai.
Wine Makers Note
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, de-stemmed and crushed to stainless-steel tanks. The use of cultured and natural yeast helps to unlock the fragrant fruit profile of the grapes. After fermentation, 20% of the wine was matured in French oak barrels for 8 to 10 months; the remainder matured in stainless steel tanks with French-oak staves to complement the wine’s flavour profile and length.
