Information about "Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc 2024"
Displaying a radiant pale gold hue with a lemon-tinted rim, the Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc captivates the senses with its enticing bouquet of fresh citrus, floral undertones, and luscious peach. Subtle hints of coriander and oak spice mingle seamlessly within, inviting exploration.

It’s a dreamlike expression of Chenin Blanc that showcases the variety's fresh and pure style.
The designation Certified Heritage Vineyard indicates that this vineyard, with vines over 35 years old, is an essential part of South Africa's winemaking legacy.
Hand-picked from a single vineyard planted between 1983 and 1985 in the Tygerberg hills near Cape Town, the fruit benefited from a cooling sea breeze during January, allowing longer hang time while achieving yields of eight tons per hectare. The grapes for the Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc fermented in various French oak barrels. Post-fermentation, the wine matured for 10 months in French barriques, consisting of 60% new and 40% second-use wood.
