Spier has a recorded history dating to 1692 and is now owned and managed by the Enthoven family that bought the property in 1993. Famed for a diversity of activities, it is home to amongst others one of the largest collections of contemporary South African art and the Spier Hotel. Heading up the winemaking is Frans Smit, who joined Spier in 1996 and lends his name to one of the handful of ranges produced at the Stellenbosch enterprise. There’s also MCC sparkling wine and wines exclusively available from the estate.
Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc 2020
R321.00
Region: Stellenbosch
Tasting note:
Pale lemon gold at a glance, this is a gloriously fresh and pure style of Chenin Blanc. Upfront ripe, juicy peach and pear fruit aromas are balanced with notes of dried apricot and a lick of oak spice. The palate is youthful but wonderfully luscious, refreshed by mouth-watering acidity and a lingering fruit core finish that provides complexity and texture.
Food pairing:
Delicious with crisp, caramelised pork belly, duck breast with fynbos honey and spices, or smoked West Coast mussels. For a lighter pairing, enjoy with a flavourful vegetable Korma curry.
