Tasting Notes
Spier Seaward Chenin Blanc 2023. Harvested from cool-climate Coastal Region vineyards on granite soils and cooled by Atlantic air, the 2023 Chenin Blanc is shaped by a climate ideal for preserving acidity and aromatics. It opens with enticing notes of citrus, pear, and melon, framed by a subtle floral touch. The palate combines creamy textures with notes of dried fruit and minerals, while fresh top-fruit flavors provide lift. A lingering finish combines zesty vibrancy with gentle spice and steely purity, offering a textural elegance that is both food-friendly and refined.
