About This Wine


Wisdom Point

Viognier

JUST IN: the first annual Santé International Wine Competition has declared this wine "Best of Class" and awarded it 97 points!
Vines planted in the Western Cape of South Africa experience a beautiful growing season in one of the most unique Southern Hemisphere appellations. Desert-like days allow the fruit to ripen while cooling winds coming off the Atlantic Ocean give time during the evenings for concentrated flavors and acidity to develop. Delicate varietals like Viognier that require both warm and cool temperatures to fully evolve love these conditions. Our 2020 Wisdom Point Viognier was created alongside the South African local Adama Wines and is a truly unique reflection of a varietal that is still relatively new to the region. The first Viognier grapes were planted in 1989 and still make up a small portion of the total grapes produced in South Africa to this day. As a majority black-owned and 30% women-owned organization, Adama Wines is trailblazing the industry through their innovative craft.

Wine Region


Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
