It continues a winning streak at Spier for the varietal: in previous years, the same competition has included the 2014 and 2015 vintages, while in 2014 it included the Woolworths Spier Private Collection 2013. The 21 Gables Chenin Blanc is a wine of outstanding pedigree. The 2015 vintage received Best in Class Chenin Blanc at The Alberta Beverage Awards among other prizes, while 2014’s medal haul included double platinum at the Top 100 SA Wines. This consistent acclaim is testament to the passion, dedication and experience of Cellar Master Frans Smit, a member of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild who has worked at Spier since 1995.

Spier will be donating its R25,000 prize money to community initiatives in Wellington, near the Nooitgedacht farm.
