Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc
$19.99
Sourced from the Tygerberg Hills and Stellenbosch, these vineyards are close to the Atlantic Ocean, benefitting from the calm winds cooling down the areas. Vines are a mixture of dryland and drip irrigation supplemented vineyards. Grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning and pre-cooled before hand-sorting, destemming and crushing. Skin contact was limited to four hours, and the free-run juice drained off to settle overnight before inoculation. Fermentation took place in 300L and 400L barrels. The wine matured for ten months in French oak barrels (10% new and 90% older).
Winemaker’s Notes: This wine offers aromas of citrus, lime, peach and honeydew. The palate is complex with ripe fruit and a fresh lime finish.
Ideally served with spicy noodle dishes or smoked chicken.
