✨ Technical Specifications
The Spier Signature Sauvignon Blanc is a classic representation of South Africa's Western Cape style. Sourced from various vineyards across the region to capture diverse microclimates, this wine is typically 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural acidity and primary fruit characteristics, followed by a brief period of contact with the fine lees to enhance texture. The resulting wine is crisp and aromatic, showcasing a balance of tropical fruit notes, such as passion fruit and gooseberry, alongside subtle herbaceous undertones.
🍾 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.
