Ophidian 2018 Sauvignon Blanc South Africa

Description

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.
