		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to winemaking, Cap Classique is not your standard bottle of wine. For winemakers up to the task, crafting a Cap Classique shifts into the territory of a magnum opus, a bona fide obsession that requires earlier harvesting, techniques like manual bottle ‘riddling’, and above all, flutes-full of patience. Put simply, it’s not for everyone. But when done well, the output easily surpasses the additional input. Case in hand, Spier’s latest release: 2016 Prestige Cuvée. Launched with the 2013 vintage and followed on by the 2015, the 2016 marks only the third time this Cap Classique has been made. Produced only from outstanding lots, the grapes for the 2016 Prestige Cuvée were harvested during one of the worst drought periods the Western Cape has ever faced.The 2016 vintage marks just the third time Spier has produced its Prestige Cuvée Cap Classique sparkling wine. First launched in 2013 and again in 2015, this rare cap classique is only made in outstanding vintages. The 2016 vintage was one of the worst droughts the Western Cape region has ever faced; yet while the water table was low, the grape quality was exceptional. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes reached unparalleled concentration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HERALDING IN A NEW ERA FOR SERIOUS ROSÉ WITH THE LAUNCH OF FAIRVIEW’S MAIDEN ROSÉ WINE, THE FAIRVIEW ROSE QUARTZ 2016! With a name as enticing as its delicate rose petal hue, Fairview is proud to introduce a more serious style of rosé wine, the Fairview Rose Quartz 2016. South Africa’s vineyard landscape is striking, characterised by very old geological formations, such as Africa’s single biggest granite rock. Formed from ancient crystallised magma, granite is typically composed of minerals feldspar and quartz, which when mixed with soil creates an environment that is perfect for cultivating vines. Today, some vineyards are speckled with remnants of this decomposed quartz, which in the right afternoon light, shimmers pink in the sun’s rays. Offering delicate notes of rose petal and pomegranate, our Rose Quartz emerges, reflecting the very minerals in which it is grown. &#160; Inspired by the rosé wines of Provence, Rose Quartz aims to be in line with a new wave of winemaking that sees the contemporary rosé as a more serious contender among South African palate choices. &#160; Eager to take on the challenge of elevating the status of this often underappreciated style of wine, the Fairview team set out to [...]]]></description>
