Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2019

Rall White 2019
$55.00Out of Stock
The effects of the drought in the Swartland the last few years forced many vineyards to be harvested earlier than usual to retain freshness. In 2019 though we had extremely high malic acids and we could afford to wait a bit longer for the grapes to develop more flavour without losing tension in wine. The […]

La Petite Mort Qvevri Gentil 2020
$32.00Despite the floral nature of these two Alsatian varieties, they complement and contrast each other brilliantly. The white blossom and “grapey” aromas of the Muscat provide a base line and the rose and lychee of the Gewürz sit on top to create exotic layers of fruit, spice and flowers. But this is not a sweet wine, and the dryness […]
