Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2019
$120.00Out of Stock
Picked slightly riper than usual in 2019, Pofadder also benefited from a decent crop compared with some of the Old Vine Series parcels. Plusher and darker than the 2018 was at this stage, with more grip and flavours of bramble and black cherry, this is a serious, sinewy Cinsault with a nip of tannins. “A […]

Sadie Family Piekenierskloof Soldaat 2020
$145.00Soldaat went through a slight shift in style in 2020, with the whole bunch percentage reduced to 65%, proving that less is more. Wonderfully fresh, poised and graceful, this is a worldclass Grenache, with Pinot Noir-like delicacy, pomegranate and raspberry flavours and no wood whatsoever. 97 points, Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Special Report 2021 Old […]

Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2020
$130.00Accessible young, as it tends to be, but also capable of ageing well in bottle, this is a coastal, 50/50 blend of Chenin Blanc and Palomino grown on highly unusual sand and limestone soils.

Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2020

Nebbiolo meets Syrah. […]

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2020
$130.00Like Soldaat, Pofadder was fermented with fewer whole bunches in 2020, giving the wine more fruit purity and focus. Beautifully framed and complete, it’s an old-vine Cinsault that combines focus with depth. Black cherry, raspberry and sweet spice notes play out across the palate with a lovely stony undertone. 96 points, Tim Atkin MW, South Africa […]

Peach, pear and lime flavours are beautifully melded on this more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts white, with gentle oak spice and a thread of acidity […]
