Vineyard & Winemaking Sourced from the Nuovo Quadro single vineyard on the La Battistina estate, where hand-harvested Cortese grapes from mature vines are carefully selected. The wine is fermented in small stainless-steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, then aged on lees for up to 6 months to build texture and complexity while maintaining its vibrant character.

The palate is vibrant and textured, showing layers of ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity and mineral finesse, balanced by a long, pure finish with a subtle saline edge that reflects the chalky terroir. Perfect Pairings A versatile Italian white, perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, fresh salads, and light pasta dishes. Its clean acidity also makes it an ideal match for sushi, oysters, and delicate vegetarian dishes. Grape Variety 100% Cortese Classification Gavi di Gavi DOCG (Gavi del Comune di Gavi)
Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc 2021
Seaward grapes are selected from South Africa's top coastal areas, growing in a narrow band close to the cold Atlantic ocean and the temperate waters of False Bay. Such terroir provides what you might call a perfect storm - with barely any human intervention needed to produce outstanding harvests for our winemakers, every year. The vines for this wine are found in the Tygerberg Hills and in Stellenbosch. Both sites are close to the Atlantic Ocean, benefitting from the cool winds cooling down the areas. Vines are a mixture of Dryland and Drip Irrigation supplemented vineyards. Spier is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. The winemaking team is committed to crafting wines truly expressive of their terroir, with minimal interference. While rooted in this heritage, they have a vibrant and conscious energy. Their Growing for Good initiatives empower communities to make positive social and environmental change. Ranging from art and entrepreneurship to regenerative farming and ecological restoration, these projects and partnerships are creating a ripple effect of lasting and meaningful impact.
