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.

Established in 1692, Spier is one of South Africa's oldest and most historic wine farms, located along the Eerste River in the heart of the Stellenbosch region. 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.
