Spier is as soon as once more setting the benchmark in South Africa with its natural and biodynamic method to farming with the launch of its Good Natured natural wine vary.
For the launch, a desk was set between the indigenous fynbos and natural vineyards and served with meals coming from the farm’s natural vegetable backyard and a fynbos harvest desk to make your individual bouquet and wreath – the right homage to the Good Natured vary.
Spier’s Natural winemaker, Tania Kleintjies mentioned that the brand new vary epitomised the farm’s natural method. ‘I imagine the winemaking course of ought to contain as little interference as doable,’ she mentioned ‘The much less we fiddle with nature, the higher the outcomes. When nature is in place, so is all the things. Wine included.’
The consequence? A wine vary that embodies Spier’s multifaceted regenerative philosophy—and is an instance of how regenerative viticulture can create vibrant, flavorful wines.
Every of the 4 wines – two whites and two reds – is made with fruit grown in natural vineyards freed from artificial pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers. As a substitute, nature is invited again into the winery to encourage a various ecosystem of vegetation, bugs, and microorganisms to thrive.
Within the winter, oat, mustard and clover seeds are planted for canopy crops to germinate and add diet to the soil. Bees, bugs and birds act as welcome pest management and by the point harvest rolls round, the staff handpick vines and returns as a lot again to the earth for composting or recycling.
The vary might be purchased in a field set with a thanks to nature inscribed on the field: ‘Thanks birds, goggas, timber. rain, solar and soil’ as a considerate reminder that this wine was made in collaboration with nature.
To have a good time the arrival of the Good Natured vary, the Spier Tasting Room has launched an Natural Wine Tasting. Till 31 October, guests can get pleasure from 4 scrumptious, freshly-prepared vegetarian bites paired with 4 distinctive natural wines, together with the brand new Good Natured Natural Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon.
