Klein Amoskuil Farm situated in the Swartland has been home to Spice Route Winery since 1997. Upon arrival all those years ago, Charles Back stumbled across the country’s oldest Sauvignon Blanc bush vines, which were surprisingly able to withstand the extremely dry conditions of the area. The Amos Block is made from these vines, which are harvested from mid to late January each year. It is fermented without any additives in old French barrels, and lightly fortified, after which a flor yeast culture is added and the wine is left to age in the Swartland heat. The primary bottling is a solera of three vintages, from 2014, 2015 and 2016. The result is a youthful, pale and dry fortified sherry-style wine, with aromatic hints of apples, almonds and walnuts. Amos Block is fresh and fully flavoured with a lingering finish. It is best suited to accompany a diverse selection of tapas-style food and must be consumed within a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by the rich and bold flavours of the world’s most precious spice, Spice Route Wines is proud to launch its maiden rosé, the Saffron Rosé. As the sun rises above fields of violet-blue flowers, specialised pickers begin the harvesting of the sought-after Saffron spice. One by one, each of the three ochre stigmas is pulled out of the delicate flower and dried by hand – a lengthy process that makes Saffron cost almost as much as gold. Much like this exotic hand-harvested spice, the grape selection for the Spice Route Wines Saffron Rosé is equally as rigorous. The low-yielding bush vines, which are grown in unique vineyards in Darling and the Piekenierskloof, ensure that only unblemished bunches undergo light pressing, releasing sensual floral and honey-like aromas into this serious rosé. “The Saffron Rosé is made in a more complex style that will benefit from some ageing,” says Spice Route Wines winemaker, Charl du Plessis. The wine comprises 100% Grenache grape variety and is gently sorted and pressed by hand to extract the pink colour. The individual components are fermented in an old 500-litre French oak barrel to ensure that each bottle contains only the highest quality of Spice Route [...]]]></description>
