Spier Wines

Spier played a major role in the country's rich vinous history since its inception. The first grapes were pressed on the farm in 1712, and we are proud to be the home of one of the Cape's oldest wine cellar buildings dated 1767.

Spier was a founding member of the Stellenbosch wine route, and, with our sustainable approach to business, we continue to play a pioneering role in the industry. We were the first South African winery to receive certification from the Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association, and are a member of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative.

Our wines, produced under two brands, Spier and Savanha, each include a set of ranges offering premium quality at exceptional value for lovers of fine wine. An impressive list of awards has been amassed by the brands in recent years.

Spier Private Collection is our special occasion award-winning wine range. This range is built on Cellar Master Frans Smit's winemaking philosophy which respects tradition, yet challenges convention. This results in truly distinctive wines with a host of international accolades.

Two of South Africa’s most celebrated varietals, Pinotage and Chenin Blanc, form the cornerstone of this range. The “new style” Pinotage is triumphantly different. Select vineyard blocks from the cooler climate and ocean breezes of False Bay make this Pinotage unique, but it is the refined winemaking style that ultimately captures the essence of the grape. Spier’s Private Collection Chenin Blanc uses resurrected old vines (that would traditionally have been uprooted) to create a sophisticated balance of old-world elegance and new-world ripeness.
