✨ Technical Specifications
Spier's Seaward Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in the Coastal Region of South Africa, specifically from vineyards situated close to the ocean where maritime breezes temper the climate. The wine is typically 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit aromas, followed by a period of maturation on the fine lees to add mid-palate weight and texture before bottling.
🍾 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.
