South Africa

Winemaker Graham Weert’s winemaking trademark is purity—elevating the purity of Chardonnay from the Western Cape of South Africa’s great hillside and mountain vineyards through simple, yet precise winemaking principles to let that essence shine through. It’s this clarity of terroir and integrity of winemaking in which Capensis wines are crafted.

Western Cape

Capensis

Simply put… [Capensis is] betting on something many more in the industry are just now taking note of: South Africa is having a moment.

KRISTEN WOLFE BIELER, BEVERAGE MEDIA GROUP, MAY 2015

Latin for “cape,” Capensis is produced in South Africa, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world. The ancient soils, dramatic landscapes, and historic vineyards of Stellenbosch, Overberg, and Robertson are the foundation for Capensis, which honors the greatness of South Africa.

When a wine possesses qualities that accurately represent wine from its point of origin, one feels an immediate sense of place - that's terroir.

Terroir is so vital to a wine’s character that we’ve defined the winemaking regions of the world by geographical boundaries. Referred to as appellations, the names of these designations immediately call to mind the characteristic wine from that area. The Spire Collection’s portfolio represents some of the world’s greatest terroir.
