Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2023

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2023

Cinsault | Swartland, South Africa

“The 2023 Pofadder, 100% Cinsault planted in schist, has a floral bouquet: white flowers, rose petals, bright wild strawberry and cranberry, with a little more mineralité than the Soldaat. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. It’s perhaps the most tensile of any Pofadder I’ve tasted, culminating in a linear finish with life-affirming frisson. There is an effortless brilliance about this Pofadder—even better than last year's offering.” Neal Martin, Vinous 96 Points

Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2023

Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2023

Tinta Barroca | Swartland, South Africa

“The 2023 Treinspoor is pure Tinta Barocca planted on sandstone and granite/quartz. Dark berry fruit and hints of Earl Grey unfold on the nose that’s maybe just a bit Nebbiolo-like in style and very expressive. Brisk and bright, the palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. It’s a little Barolo-like toward the grippy finish, leaving veins of blue fruit on the aftertaste. Outstanding and characterful.” Neal Martin, Vinous 95 Points“Treinspoor is a pure Tinta Bar

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2024

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2024

Cinsault | Swartland, South Africa

"The 2024 Pofadder is the most fruit forward that I have seen it," remarked Eben Sadie. "A lot of guys pick early to make it Burgundian in style, but this site gives full ripeness at 13% alcohol. The slate soil is very important for this as the vines struggle a bit here." It has a crystalline bouquet with mineral-laden forward red fruit and bergamot that bursts from the glass without inhibition. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip and powdery texture with a mineral/sto

Sadie Family Swartland Rotsbank 2024

Sadie Family Swartland Rotsbank 2024

Chenin Blanc | Swartland, South Africa

The 2024 Rotsbank comes from Chenin planted at the back of the property, according to Sadie, the only one of 12 vineyards he works with that obtains a flintiness. This has fine lift on the nose with light petrolly, almost Riesling-like scents that evolve into more wet wool/lanolin scents with aeration. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity. Bright and sapid in the mouth, it gains weight and a little texture towards the extended finish. Excellent. Neal

Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2024

Tinta Barroca | Swartland, South Africa

The 2024 Treinspoor is pure Tinta Barocca that Sadie said he loves the most, though he had to drop a lot of fruit in this vintage due to the dryness, around 35%. This blooms on the nose with sensual red berry fruit, rooibos, Earl Grey and light minerally scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy opening, impressive density and weight, very pure and perhaps the most sensual of Sadie's OVS this vintage. Just a light tang of cracked black pepper on the fini

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2024

Semillon Gris | Swartland, South Africa

The 2024 Kokerboom is a blend of Sémillon Blanc and Gris. Mellow on the nose, this is the most timid of Sadie's '24s at the moment, with very light wet wool and earthy aromas. The palate is very spicy on the entry, with a touch of ginger, linear and minimalist for Sémillon, with a bright, sapid, slightly fiery finish. Very fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 92 Points

Sadie Family Swartland Twiswind 2024

Sadie Family Swartland Twiswind 2024

White Blend | Swartland, South Africa

“Twiswind - "to argue with the wind" in Afrikaans - is the maiden release of a brilliant field blend from a 1.4-hectare site planted as recently as 2019. Featuring a medley of Chenin Banc, Cinsault Blanc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Grillo, Marsanne, Palomino, Picpoul, Semillon and Vermentino, it's like a who's who of the Mediterranean, with lime, greengage, grapefruit, quinine and juniper flavours, thrilling acidity and a mineral core. 2027-32.” Tim Atkin MW, 95 Points

Sadie Family Swartland Sonvang 2024

Grenache | Swartland, South Africa

“The maiden 2024 Sonvang, a field blend of varieties in Eben Sadie's nursery, certainly has one of the more exotic and out-there aromatics with scents of red fruit, hickory, struck flint… something almost volcanic about this. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant dark berry fruit, touches of white pepper, Provençal herbs and black truffle. Wonderfully balanced, granular in texture, insistent grip on the finish with a persistent finish, this is an outstanding debut.”Neal Martin, Vino

Sadie Family Swartland Palladius 2022

Sadie Family Swartland Palladius 2022

White Blend | Swartland, South Africa

“The 2022 starts by almost playing hide-and-seek; the wine is more reserved and holding back. And only after warming up and a couple of minutes in the glass does the conversation start. The aromas are that of green apple and citrus flint, and then some of the stone fruit aromas begin to shine through. The wine needs time. The palate is already balanced, and the acidity is met by very firm tannins. The aftertaste is lingering. This bottling is a great vintage to follow the 2021. It is a strong

Sadie Family Swartland Palladius 2023

White Blend | Swartland, South Africa

“Palladius now includes 14 different varieties, with the addition of 6% Assyrtiko to the blend in 2023. Fresher and more focused than it used to be, with less stone fruit sweetness, this is one of the best young releases I've tasted, but will age very well too. Pear, citrus and apricot flavours are underpinned by pithy acidity, with a salty undertone, subtle wood and a tapering finish. 2027-35.”  Tim Atkin MW, 98 Points“The 2023 offers pressed yellow flowers and light walnut and

Sadie Family Stellenbosch Mev. Kirsten 2023

Chenin Blanc | South Africa

“The 2023 Mev. Kirsten is perhaps the most closed of the three Chenins, unfolding with time to reveal scents of yellow fruit, oyster shell and a touch of lanolin. The palate has superb weight and density—the most fruit-driven Chenin, with an irresistible, slightly viscous texture counterbalanced by a keen thread of acidity. It’s even a little petrolly on the finish. Fabulous from beginning to end.”Neal Martin, Vinous 96 Points

Sadie Family Swartland Columella 2023

Red Blend | Swartland, South Africa

“The latest in a run of stellar Columella releases, this is now a seven-variety blend led by 38% Syrah and complemented by half a dozen Iberian and southern Rhône grapes. Expressing "all the oils of the Swartland", it has subtle 30% whole clusters, aromas of garrigue, oregano and Negroni spices, fine-grained tannins, haunting minerality and a core of bramble, redcurrant and black cherry. One of the Cape's greatest reds. 2027-38.” Tim Atkin MW, 98 PointsThe 2023 Columella is the
