The key feature of Spier's winemaking philosophy is its dedication to making wines of the highest quality, across all its ranges. Its large modern custom-built winery is designed to enable Frans Smit's winemaking team to make great terroir-specific wines.

Spier's dedicated viticulture team supervises its own and managed vineyards that are situated in the prime wine-growing areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Darling on the West Coast. The Spier winery then processes fruit from Spier's own vines and from other carefully selected vineyards.

This is a blend of Chenin Blanc as well as a little Colombard that has a brilliantly clear pale lime colour. A crisp fruity wine with tropical fruit flavours and a hint of citrus on the nose and palate that leads to a long lingering finish.
