Farmer Angus organic wine

Farmer Angus is Spier Wine Farm’s new flagship organic wine range. The collection is the fruit of a shared journey between the farm’s award-winning winemaking team and Angus McIntosh, a passionate champion of regenerative agriculture who not only calls Spier his home but is also renowned for his commitment to ethically farmed meat, chicken and pork. At the heart of these wines lies a profound respect for the soil and its role in nurturing healthy vines and exceptional grapes. Regenerative agriculture is his life’s work, Angus says, adding he believes all health stems from the soil. The range, made with grapes grown without synthetic herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, or fertilisers, has three limited-release wines.
Farmer Angus Chenin Blanc – all butterscotch and apricots, followed by a palate of citrus and caramel, it pairs perfectly with prosciutto (R595); a vibrant, freshing rosé showcasing strawberry and vanilla on the nose, with strawberry and coriander on the palate (R495), and Farmer Angus Red Blend – a classic Stellenbosch Red Blend boasting a nose of blackberry and chocolate, complemented by a palate of vanilla and blackcurrant, brilliant with a grass-fed beef steak (R695). We love the labels, too. Angus used the vine leaves he collected from the very vines that make these wines in the label design. His mother taught him this leaf-rubbing art form as a boy, he shares, saying it connects the wines right back to their origins among the vines. Buy online from spier.co.za
