Tasting notes:

Spier Wine Farm occupies a piece of land with a history spanning 7,000 years. Recognising its ancestors, Spier has taken sustainability to a whole new level. This delightful, affordable Sauvignon Blanc is just one result. Pale lemon coloured, the wine shows greengage, passionfruit and white peach, with accents of lemon blossom, orange zest and subtle smoke. Very nearly dry, the palate is juicy and fresh, light-bodied with hints of white pepper and raw Jalapeño chilies. A surprisingly good pairing would be steamed globe artichokes with a dill-Dijon mustard mayonnaise.  (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
