General Information
The Spier Signature Chenin Blanc is an excellent expression of the versatility of the Chenin Blanc grape, cultivated in the fertile valleys of South Africa. This wine is crafted with care, allowing the unique characteristics of the grape to come to the forefront. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve freshness, then gently pressed, and the juice is slowly fermented at controlled temperatures. This results in a wine that is both intensely flavorful and aromatic.
