Our online feature this week is the Spier Field & Flutter Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Cape, South Africa) – $19.99, regularly $24.99.
The Spier winery and farm was founded in 1692. In that time, the winery has come a long way and still strives to follow traditional winemaking practices, but also to keep up with current technology. Nestled in the famed Stellenbosch wine region, the vineyards have borne witness to centuries of craftsmanship and dedication. It is also a wine farm that welcomes all with abundant picnics, child-friendly gardens, award-winning wine tastings, farm-to-table eateries & more. This award winning, true to terroir producer has consistently represented great price for quality ratio in every range of wines they produced.
Our weekly special this week is indeed special, a brand new arrival into Alberta just in time for Valentines is their Field & Flutter Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, an organic blend of 7% Shiraz and 43% Cabernet Sauvignon. Ruby rich red colored with a nose of moss, cherries, mullberries, black currant and blackberries in a velvety and gentle package with medium body finishing with allspice and dark chocolate. Doesn’t that sound delicious?
Prost everyone!
