Ophidian 2021 Chenin Blanc Swartland, South Africa

Our 90 point Chenin Blanc is elegantly balanced and seductively sumptuous with exotic fruit flavors and a round, polished mouthfeel. Just 40 miles north of Cape Town on the western edge of the South African coast, Swartland is a gorgeous winegrowing region. With vineyard sites in many locations and altitudes, all fruit receives sufficient coastal influences from the bordering Atlantic Ocean along with a hot, arid climate. This setting is ideal for wine grapes and travelers alike. Our local South African winemaking partners have cultivated this land since 1923, crafting mesmerizing wines year after year, and our 2021 vintage is no exception. To fully appreciate this wine’s striking aromatic intensity and unctuous body, serve it lightly chilled, shared with family and friends at your next social gathering.
