Tasting notes:

These bush-trained vines are nick-named the ‘Lazarus vines’ because Johann Jordaan, the Spier cellarmaster, resurrected these dry-farmed vines at the ripe age of 37-years from obscurity. A perennial Award-winner, this vintage was given our top award in 2025, Grand Master of Chenin Blanc. Pale lemon-yellow in colour, the wine shows yellow peach, apricot and quince fruit with toasty oak notes. The palate is light-bodied bolstered by brisk acidity with creamy texture and a butterscotch nuance. A fine quality wine that will match fresh salmon soufflé. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
