Description: Winecorp was established in 1999 through the merging of three of South Africa's foremost wineries: the pioneering Spier, the boutique Longridge and the entrepreneurial Savanha.

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 CheninBlanc 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. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £71.63
