✨ Technical Specifications
Spier Creative Block 2 is a white Bordeaux-style blend produced in the Coastal Region of South Africa. The blend typically consists of Sauvignon Blanc (approximately 85% to 90%) and Sémillon (approximately 10% to 15%). Grapes are sourced from cooler maritime-influenced vineyards within the Coastal Region, which helps retain natural acidity. The Sauvignon Blanc is generally fermented in stainless steel to preserve fresh, herbaceous, and tropical fruit characters, while a portion of the Sémillon may undergo fermentation or aging in French oak barrels to add texture, weight, and complexity to the final blend.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1692 in Stellenbosch, Spier is one of South Africa's oldest and most historically significant wine farms, celebrated for its Cape Dutch architectural heritage boasting twenty-one historic gables. Acquired and revitalized in the 1990s by the Enthoven family, the estate has evolved into a global leader in regenerative agriculture, ethical sustainability, and community-centered viticulture. Sourcing fruit from prime terroirs across Stellenbosch and the greater Coastal Region, Spier crafts a versatile portfolio ranging from vibrant, everyday varietals to complex, award-winning cuvées. The estate is particularly renowned for its acclaimed '21 Gables' single-varietal expressions of Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside its innovative, terroir-driven 'Creative Block' blends.
