Description
The Spice Route Red Mix Case brings together three distinctive red wines that highlight depth, spice, and structure. Each wine comes from unirrigated bush vines and reflects Spice Route’s hands-on approach. As a result, the case feels focused yet varied. With two bottles of each wine, it suits relaxed evenings as well as shared meals.
Spice Route Pinotage 2024
This Pinotage comes mainly from organically farmed bush vines planted in 1997 on Koffieklip soils in Malmesbury. In addition, Darling fruit adds freshness to the blend. Fermentation takes place in open concrete tanks with manual punch-downs. The wine then matures in tight-grain American oak, with 30% new oak.
Consequently, the wine shows deep ruby colour, plum and ripe cherry aromas, and hints of warm caramel. The palate feels rich, while the structure stays balanced.
Spice Route Grenache 2023
This Grenache comes from younger, unirrigated bush vines planted in 2006. The team hand-picked the grapes and fermented them in open concrete tanks. After that, the wine matured for 16 months in old French oak barrels.
As a result, it displays a vibrant light red colour with red berry fruit, subtle pepper, and cardamom spice. Fine tannins and fresh acidity add elegance and balance.
Spice Route Mourvèdre 2023
This Mourvèdre grows on organically farmed bush vines planted in 2001 on Koffieklip and Oakleaf soils. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in open concrete with regular punch-downs. The wine then matured in seasoned French and American oak barrels.
Consequently, it shows savoury red fruit, herbs, and spice. Fresh berry flavours and firm youthful tannins give it a vibrant, fruit-driven style.
