WineDiva's Review

Creamy, slick, golden.
Named for the beautifully preserved 21 Cape Dutch Gables on the Spier wine farm the 21 Gables series consists of 4 wines, including this oaked Chenin Blanc. Grown on dry-farmed 35-year-old vines (average age) located within 15km from the ocean it was fermented in mixed sized French oak and then matured 14 months in barrel, 60% new, 40% second fill.
It has an electric yellow hue and aromas of wild honey and warm peaches, golden apples, grilled lemon, brown spice and smoked almonds. Creamy and weighted it is slick and intense; golden fruits, toast, and spice flavours dominate. The finish is long and balanced.
