Named after Spier’s Cellar Master, Frans K Smit is the culmination of 13 years of patient, devoted observance of prime vineyard performance and quality.

Dark ruby in colour with a youthful purple edge, this ultra-premium blend shows prominent ripe blackcurrant on the nose with rich cherry tobacco, cigar box, cassis, and spicy undertones. The wine is rich, complex and full-bodied with layers of spice and fruit. The palate shows well-integrated tannins and oak-derived flavours and has a long, rich and lingering finish.

This Bordeaux-style blend is composed of

• 51% Cabernet Sauvignon (70%Stellenbosch, 30 % Paarl)
• 22% Merlot (Helderberg)
• 22% Shiraz (Paarl)
• 5% Pinotage (Helderberg)
