At R160 a bottle, the 2023 vintage of Creative Block 2 from Spier punches above its weight. Grapes sourced variously from Durbanville, Stellenbosch and Darling, it’s a blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Semillon, a small portion of the latter fermented in oak.
Striking aromatics of lime, soft citrus (naartjie), a definite herbal edge but also granadilla and blackcurrant. The palate shows super-concentrated fruit matched by punchy acidity, the finish dry. It’s showy but irresistibly so. Alc: 13.72%.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
