Pinotage "Topography"

The David & Nadia Pinotage 'Topography' 2022 is a 100% Pinotage red wine from the Swartland region of South Africa. The wine is produced by David & Nadia Wines, a family-owned project founded by David and Nadia Sadie. Their winemaking philosophy centers on natural balance, purity, and freshness, achieved by respecting the soil and vineyards, with a focus on old, dry-land bush vines. The Swartland's unique terroirs and soils, particularly the granitic soil composition of the Paardeberg vineyard where these vines are located, are central to the wine's expression. The 'Topography' designation likely refers to these specific vineyard sites and their soil characteristics, emphasizing the producer's terroir-driven approach. The 2022 vintage in South Africa experienced a cooler growing season overall, though heat spikes in early January required careful vineyard management and meticulous sorting to ensure quality.
