Spier's 'These Waves' Viognier is a white wine sourced from the Cape South Coast of South Africa, a region defined by its cool maritime climate and ocean influences. This terroir helps preserve the natural acidity of the Viognier grape, balancing its characteristic rich texture. The wine is typically fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain its vibrant floral and stone fruit aromas, with some lees contact to add complexity and body.
