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.

Under the stewardship of the Enthoven family since 1993, the estate marries its rich heritage with a progressive commitment to regenerative farming, biodiversity, and organic practices. Spier is celebrated for its diverse portfolio of expressive wines, most notably its acclaimed '21 Gables' range, which pays homage to the farm's historic Cape Dutch architectural heritage through exceptional single-varietal Chenin Blanc, Pinotage, and Cabernet Sauvignon. With a winemaking philosophy centered on minimal intervention, Spier consistently crafts elegant, terroir-driven wines that capture the unique maritime-influenced climate of the Coastal Region.
