Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc 2021

The Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc shimmers in a light golden hue in the glass. The grapes for the white wine come from regions in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the cooling wind - and you can taste that, too, because the Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc scores with aromas of citrus fruits, peach and lime. Since the wine was aged for ten months in French oak, there is also a slight honey note. Nuances of ripe fruit also unfold on the palate and the finish is characterised by fresh lime flavours.

in the vineyard : Sourced from selected vineyards from Tygerberg Hills and Stellenbosch. The vines are a combination of dryland and drip irrigation-supplemented vineyards. Located less than one hour's drive from the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards benefit from a cooling breeze that encourages slow ripening.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning.

in the cellar : The grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning and pre-cooled prior to hand-sorting, destemming and crushing with skin contact limited to four hours. The drained free-run juice was settled overnight before inoculation. Fermentation took place in 300 and 400-litre with 10% being completed in stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for 10 months in French oak barrels.
