Ophidian
South Africa
An award-winning South African Sauvignon Blanc for sipping and lingering
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ophidian
Sauvignon Blanc
Ophidian wines bring a richness to every bottle thanks to their South African origins. Cool conditions off the coast and strong sunlight from the high elevation allow for steady ripening of the grapes, giving this 2018 Sauvignon Blanc a fresh citrus bite and a lengthy finish. Start the evening off by pairing this wine with creamy, spreadable cheese like camembert while you prepare calamari or shellfish for the main course. White flower and tropical fruit notes of pineapple, lime, and green mango complement the beautiful acidity that pairs perfectly with seafood. This is a wine for sipping all evening, from aperitif hour to after-dinner digestifs. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2019 Harvest Challenge.

WINE REGION:
South Africa
With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
