Information about "Spier Frans K. Smit White 2024"
Radiating a delicate straw hue with fresh green reflections, the Spier Frans K. Smit White opens with an exquisite aromatic profile characterized by fragrant elderflower, black currants, and subtle citrus notes, augmented by gentle hints of fine oak. This enticing bouquet flows seamlessly onto a well-structured palate, where vibrant flavors of fresh gooseberries, tropical passion fruit, and green fig leaves create a delectable fusion. This esteemed white wine blend, crafted in classic Bordeaux style, is poised for further evolution, promising a more pronounced green character with nuanced asparagus whispers—an indigenous trait of Helderberg Sauvignon Blancs.
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.
