One of South Africa’s oldest wineries and a well-known Western Cape landmark, Spier is still family-owned three centuries since its establishment in 1692. Their rich and complex 21 Gables Chenin Blanc 2020 has been crafted with grapes handpicked from 37-year-old vines from a single vineyard in the prestigious Stellenbosch region (just 15km from the ocean). Matured for 14 months in 60% new French oak, the result is a Chenin Blanc with intense flavour and excellent ageing potential – full of dried apricot and ripe tropical fruits, with an oak and vanilla creaminess. From the first sip you'll see why the 2016 received the prestigious IWSC Best Chenin Blanc Trophy and the 2020 Double Gold and 5 Stars. A superb, rich white with duck or salmon.
