It's a tribute to the craftsmanship that has prevailed for centuries on Spier's expansive estate. A must-see for anyone near Stellenbosch, as Spier's estate is truly breathtaking!
The old Sauvignon Blanc vineyard for the 21 Gables
This 21 Gables from Spier is made with Sauvignon Blanc. While not a typical South African grape, it thrives in Spier's vineyards, as evidenced by the Spier Signature Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested early in the morning in crates of no more than 10 kilos. This minimizes crushing, preserving the best juice for the wine. After fermentation, the 21 Gables Sauvignon Blanc is aged on its own lees for another six months. This gives the wine more power, flavor, and robustness.
