Spier 21 Gables Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Fresh grassiness with bell pepper, passion fruit, green fig leaves and gooseberry. The palate is concentrated and richly textured with a fresh, green finish.

Only the best bunches were hand-harvested early in the morning in 8kg lug boxes. We specifically use smaller boxes to ensure the fruit does not get crushed and the quality remains high. Once the grapes arrive in the cellar, it is pre-cooled before hand-sorting, destemming and crushing. After six hours of skin contact, the free-run juice was settled overnight before inoculation with a selected yeast strain. The fermentation took place under controlled temperatures between 11° and 13°C. The wine matured for four months on the lees before bottling.
