Weingut Spioenkop Wines - Erlesene Weine aus Südafrikas Elgin Region

The Spioenkop Winery's vineyards are located in the Elgin region at the top of Spioenkop Hill in the Grabouw highlands. Steep slopes here drop from 300 m to 210 m, making it impossible and far too dangerous to work with tractors on Spioenkop. Spioenkop was the first winery to plant Pinotage in the Elgin region.

The vision of the Belgian winemaker and co-owner Koen Roose is to produce wines with an attractive and genuine character, which are at the same time unique and perhaps even have something wild and untamed about them. Personality is at the forefront here, whether in terms of his atypical vineyard planting or the combination of old and new in his boutique cellar, technology and laboratory analysis are only there to assist the winemaker, but this in no way detracts from the importance of his human commitment.

Spioenkop's portfolio, consisting of two different Sauvignon Blancs, a Chenin Blanc, a Riesling and a highly acclaimed Pinotage, is offered in the two wine series "1900" and "Spioenkop Wines". For wine lovers with a preference for wines that have a mineral quality and are created in a simple and elegant manner, the wines of the Spioenkop series are ideal. All the wines in this range are made from 100% Elgin grapes. The "1900" series of wines offers a fuller, richer and more tropical style, yet has a wonderful elegance.

All the wines in the two ranges have been awarded major prizes and honours and have consistently been awarded remarkable 4 and 4.5 star ratings from the famous and prestigious Platter Wine Guide!
