Sadie Family Olifantsrivier Skurfberg 2019
$120.00in any six
$133.00 per single bottle
A one-hundred-point white? From South Africa? I can almost hear the tutting and clucking from here. But I defy anyone to taste this monumental wine, preferably among a line-up of other, world-class wines and resist its charms. The crop was down 60%, resulting in an old-vine Chenin of mind-blowing focus, depth and concentration. Quince, lemon […]

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2019

$133.00 per single bottle
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 Swartland Treinspoor 2018
$108.00in any six
$123.00 per single bottle
“Treinspoor comes from a vineyard close to the railway line on the Darling side of the Swartland. It was especially crucial to get the picking date right in 2018, according to Paul Jordaan, but he and Eben Sadie nailed it. Showing the classic grip and square-jawed gruffness of Tinta Barocca, but with intense, savoury damson […]

$133.00 per single bottle
Treinspoor comes from a vineyard close to the railway line on the Darling side of the Swartland. “The greatest grape for the Swartland,” says Eben Sadie of Tinta Barocca, unconcerned that no one seems to agree with him. Treinspoor can be hard to like in its youth, but not in 2019. Yes, it has grunt […]

Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2018
Add to cart$108.00in any six
$123.00 per single bottle
“Now that I’ve visited the vineyard, I admire this wine even more, such is the heroism required to grow grapes in such an isolated site. Combining Chenin Blanc and Palomino grown on sand a limestone soils, it’s pale, fragrant, yeasty and salty with notes of kelp, quince and citrus and some stony, struck-match reduction.” 97 points, […]

Sadie Family Swartland Columella 2018
Add to cart$265.00in any six
$285.00 per single bottle
The percentage of Syrah decreases every year – it was once 80% and is now closer to 45% – allowing Eben Sadie to play with other Mediterranean grapes, namely Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault and Tinta Barocca. Remarkably well balanced and refined given the heat and dryness of the vintage, this is a scented, floral, nuanced […]

Sadie Family Swartland Palladius 2018
Add to cart$225.00in any six
$250.00 per single bottle
Space prevents me from listing all of them, but this remarkable Swartland white is made from 11 different varieties, including Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Verdelho, Palomino, Marsanne and Roussanne, spread across 17 different sites. 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 […]

$150.00 per single bottle
Another Sadie Family wine that lost half of its crop to the growing season in 2019, Kokerboom is part of a stunning array of whites from Eben Sadie this year. Made with co-planted Semillon Blanc and Gris from Henk Laing’s farm, this is herbal, saline and refreshing, all pink grapefruit, lime and lemongrass with a […]

Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2019
Add to cart$120.00in any six
$133.00 per single bottle
Skerpioen is quite a place: a wind-swept, seashore vineyard with sand and limestone soils that makes one of the Cape’s most distinctive whites. Produced from co-planted Chenin and Palomino, it’s wonderfully yeasty, pithy and saline with mouth-watering freshness and notes of kelp and fresh bread. 96 points, Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Special Report 2020 […]
