Spier 21 Gables

"“Of all Cape Dutch farms in the Cape, most of them with their own centre and end gables, it is Spier that boasts the greatest number of them: 21 in total, all beautifully preserved.”"

—Architectural historian Dr Hans Fransen (Ph.D. Natal, D.Phil. h.c. Stell.)

Dating back to 1692, Spier is one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms. Our vinous heritage is as old as the farm itself.

Spier’s award-winning 21 Gables range celebrate the legacy of winemaking in South Africa, as well as our farm’s unique architectural feature; an unrivalled 21 Cape Dutch Gables.

Two of South Africa’s most celebrated varietals, Pinotage and Chenin Blanc, form the cornerstone of this range. The “new style” Pinotage is triumphantly different. Select vineyard blocks from the cooler climate and ocean breezes of False Bay make this Pinotage unique, but it is the refined winemaking style that ultimately captures the essence of the grape. Spier’s 21 Gables Chenin Blanc uses resurrected old vines (that would traditionally have been uprooted) to create a sophisticated balance of old-world elegance and new-world ripeness.
