Frans K. Smit White Blend 2018 750ml is the flagship South African white blend from Spier Wine Farm, crafted in the Coastal Region from 77% Sauvignon Blanc and 23% Sémillon. Sourced from exceptional dryland vineyards in the Tygerberg and Helderberg, the wine combines cool-climate freshness with richness and complexity. The Sauvignon Blanc is fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant aromatics, while the Sémillon undergoes barrel fermentation and ageing, creating a wine of remarkable texture, concentration, and ageing potential. The 2018 vintage is widely regarded as an outstanding expression of Frans K. Smit’s winemaking philosophy, delivering elegance, precision, and exceptional balance.

The nose reveals expressive aromas of elderflower, pineapple, lime zest, and tropical fruit, beautifully complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, gentle smokiness, and delicate oak spice. On the palate, rich layers of citrus, white peach, and tropical fruit are supported by a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a refined mineral backbone that carries through to a long, mouthwatering finish. Beautifully poised and complex, Frans K. Smit White Blend 2018 pairs perfectly with scallops in creamy asparagus sauce, prawn dishes, seafood risotto, grilled fish, and mature soft cheeses.
