✨ Technical Specifications
Spier's Vintage Selection Chenin Blanc is sourced from selected vineyards within South Africa's Coastal Region, where diverse soil types, including decomposed granite and shale, and maritime influences shape the grape's character. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc, the wine is typically fermented and matured using a combination of stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit aromatics and French oak barrels to add texture, complexity, and subtle spice. Extended lees contact is often employed to enhance the mid-palate weight.
