Private Collection

2009 Coastal Region Chenin Blanc

The Spier Private Collection Chenin Blanc from the Coastal Region is a delightful expression of this remarkable varietal, showcasing the essence of its terroir. With a light body, this vintage presents a refreshing profile that is balanced with vibrant acidity, offering a crisp mouthfeel that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring alluring notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a hint of honey, which complement the wine's minerality beautifully. This Chenin Blanc is bone dry, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. With the graceful aging that comes from the 2009 vintage, this wine elegantly embodies the charm and complexity of mature Chenin Blanc, leaving a lasting impression.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
