Information about "Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc 2024"
Radiating a brilliant pale gold color with a lemon-tinted rim, the Spier 21 Gables Chenin Blanc enchants with its seductive bouquet of fresh citrus, floral notes, and juicy peach. Whispered hints of coriander and oak spice add depth to its aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine reveals exquisite flavors of ripe summer melon, lychee, and pear, coupled with a refined creaminess and a well-integrated acidity. It stands as a remarkable embodiment of Chenin Blanc's fresh and pure character.
This wine comes from a vineyard designated as Certified Heritage Vineyard, where the vines are over 35 years old, highlighting its significance in South Africa's winemaking narrative.
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.
