Information about "Spier Frans K. Smit White 2017"
Of a light straw colour with fresh green reflections in the glass, the Spier Discover Chenin Blanc Chardonnay exudes wonderful aromas of yellow apples, fresh guava and ripe pears, paired with hints of winter melon and citrus fruit. Well-structured and well-balanced, it caresses the palate with notes of tangy tropical fruit and a fresh and crisp finish.

The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes were meticulously handpicked at optimal ripeness and acidity levels. After pressing, the free-run juice remained on the skins for a full day. Fermentation occurred in a large wine foudre (80% new wood), followed by 14 months of aging on the lees.
