Value, juicy, peachy.
I've long been a fan of South Africa's Chenin Blancs - they come in many guises and the Spier is a great starting point - it's tasty and offers consistently exceptional value.

Fresh peaches and green apples, star fruit and a hint of yellow plums, orange blossoms, melon and smoked honey. The palate is fresh and pristine with flavours of grilled pineapples, yellow apples and honey. Good length and balance.
At this price it's a buy-by-the-case kinda bottle.
Pair: Fish, spicy cuisines, white meats, summer salads and soft cheeses.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Consistent, fleshy, fresh.

I've been reviewing this wine for a decade and its consistency is notable.
In the 2020, aromas of white peaches and spring flowers, melon, orange zest and honey lead to an equally fleshy palate that is zesty, sweet and supple. It has weight, freshness and concentration with just a hint of vanilla and spice; the finish is lengthy. At this price it's a buy-by-the-case kinda bottle.

I've been reviewing this wine for a decade and its consistency is notable.
The 2019 delivers transparent aromas of yellow apple, honey, grapefruit and wildflowers with just a hint of its minimal oak fermentation (5%). Influenced by juicy tree fruits, lemongrass and citrus flavours, the palate has a lively character and slightly creamy texture, and at this price it's a buy-by-the-case.

Fresh, value, smooth.
Tangy red tree fruits and strawberry, iodine, spice, dark cocoa and espresso aromas lead to a fresh red with savoury and umami flavours seasoned with white pepper and charred spice. It's a fresh and approachable everyday red.

I'm a big fan of South African Chenin - there are many styles and options and the Spier is a great starting point - it's affordable, fresh and tasty.
Zesty notes of citrus, white blossoms and grass are rounded out with guava, white peach and young pineapple. The palate is mouthwatering and nicely weighted with nectarine, tropical fruit, citrus and snap peas. Clean and crisp but with an appealing texture too.
