Spier Frans K Smit Red Blend 2015

The 2015 will be remembered for many, many years to come. Delivering the total package in terms of weather conditions, it is particularly unique compared to other years for both the Southern and Northern Hemisphere. When everything lines up like it did, with the fairly dry and cool summer that we experienced, the wine is just so much more in balance. All the grapes are of Helderberg origin, so we were able to achieve consistency in style. Cabernet Sauvignon was everything we wanted it to be, so we gave it dominance, and adding a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot brought the aroma and structure to this truly Bordeaux-style blend.” – Frans K Smit, Cellar Master
