Spier Creative Block 2 is a South African red blend made with grapes sourced from multiple vineyards. The blend consists of Syrah, Mourvedre (also known as Mataro), Grenache, and Viognier, with each varietal bringing its unique flavor profile to the wine. The nose is packed with aromas of dark berries, white pepper, and a hint of floral notes. The palate is full-bodied with flavors of black fruit, savory spices, and a long, smooth finish. This wine pairs well with hearty meat dishes, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses. Spier Creative Block 2 is an excellent representation of the quality and diversity of wines produced in South Africa.
