Ophidian 2019 Pinotage Swartland, South Africa
Pinotage is a unique varietal that is native to South Africa, but it is beloved worldwide. Our 2019 Ophidian Pinotage hails from the Swartland appellation of South Africa, where vineyards experience a classic continental climate. The region sits 40 miles north of Cape Town and sees warm, dry days with sunny skies during the growing season. Our winemaking partners who crafted this beautiful bottle chose to plant fruit on soils that require vines to work incredibly hard for nutrients—these growing conditions add body and structure to the final product. The varietal is famous for a rich coffee flavor that comes out during the aging process, and this wine’s profile is faithful to that characteristic. Aged in French oak after harvest and fermentation, earthy aromas are enhanced by savory notes that meld with dark fruit flavors. Deep in color and bold in taste, this wine is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
