Spier Signature Chenin Blanc 75cl
Pour this cold and the whole glass goes bright. Green guava, ripe pear, a little squeeze of citrus, then a snappy dry finish that wakes your mouth back up for the next sip. It's the white you grab when you want something proper but fuss-free, the kind that disappears over a long chat on the balcony or sat next to a plate of grilled prawns. South Africa knows its Chenin, and Spier has been at it longer than almost anyone. Want it tonight? We'll get it to you.
Stick your nose in and you get guava, pear and apple straight away, with a quiet hint of litchi sitting underneath, plus a flash of citrus and quince. On the palate it's fresh and lively, fruit up front but never sweet, riding a clean line of acidity that keeps everything crisp. The finish is dry and snappy, that classic Chenin tug that makes you reach for sip number two. Spier give it a brief bit of skin contact to lift those aromatics, and three months resting on the fine lees to round it out. No oak, so the fruit stays loud and clear.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Spier sits in Stellenbosch, in South Africa's Cape Winelands, and the place has serious history. The land was granted back in 1692, which makes it one of the oldest wine farms in the country, and it still runs the oldest dated working wine cellar in South Africa. It's also home to 21 Cape Dutch gables, more than any other farm. Chenin Blanc has been part of the story here for generations, and the Signature range is their everyday, get-it-right bottling. Big farm, long roots, easy-going wine.
