✨ Technical Specifications
Spier 'The Yellowwood' Organic White is an organically certified white blend produced in the Coastal Region of South Africa. The blend is typically dominated by Chenin Blanc, often complemented by varieties such as Viognier and Sémillon. Grapes are sourced from organically certified vineyards where maritime influences from the Atlantic Ocean help moderate temperatures. Vinification generally involves temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit characteristics, with a portion sometimes aged on the lees or in older oak barrels to add texture and complexity.

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.
