Product information "Spier Frans K Smit 2017 Magnum"
The Spier Frans K Smit Magnum reflects its wonderful Helderberg terroir. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (7%) and Malbec (7%) presents itself in an intense red colour in the glass and impresses with an equally intense aroma of red fruits, which is surrounded by smoky and floral tones. A hint of mint chocolate successfully rounds off the bouquet. The wonderful and complex interplay of flavours continues on the palate and is accompanied by well-integrated tannins. This full-bodied red wine matures for eighteen months in French oak and, thanks to its complexity, is a great partner to aromatic dishes with dark meat and savoury side dishes. But the Frans K Smit Magnum is also a culinary highlight on its own.

Spier Wine from Stellenbosch
The Spier winery is located in the 'wine heart' of South Africa: Stellenbosch. The excellent soils and good rainfall during the winter months, paired with the expertise and knowledge of the winemakers, make for a constant high quality. Being approximately 25 kilometres away from Cape Town, Spier is also a popular travel destination.
Spier Wine with a Long Tradition
Spier can look back on a long and successful history. Proudly, the winemakers maintain the proven traditions in wine cultivation yet always look ahead in the future and develop innovative ideas for growing and developing red as well as white wine. The first grapes had been pressed here in 1712, and since 1767 Spier is a registered vineyard. Nowadays, the yard plays a key role in South Africa's success on the wine market, not least due to the high quality standards that are achieved here.
Amongst others, Spier offers the Signature Range which excites with its easily salubrious and fruity wine. Two premium collections, 21 Gables and Creative Block, are aimed at the wine lover. Both collections have an excellent quality in common, which has been awarded numerous times.
