The Sadie Family Wines – Columella, Multi-vineyard & -variety blend expressive of Swartland. Syrah now reduced in favour of grenache, cinsaut, carignan, tinta barocca & mourvadre. 2018 reflects drought vintage in ripe, dark roast nuts & meat, richly savoury character. A little forbidding now but ripe fruit concentration, freshness ensure healthy future. Unfined/filtered, as all. This range also in 1.5 & 3L.

In the glass, our Red Blend presents a deep garnet hue, hinting at the richness and complexity that awaits. The aroma is a symphony of enticing notes, with luscious dark fruits such as blackberry and plum mingling with nuances of vanilla, spice, and a whisper of cedar from oak aging.

On the palate, this wine unfolds with layers of flavor and texture. Velvety tannins provide structure, while flavors of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and a touch of chocolate dance across the tongue. The mouthfeel is luxurious, with a long, satisfying finish that leaves a lasting impression.

The Sadie Family Wines – Palladius is a multi-grape blend, including chenin, reflecting its Swartland origin rather than any variety. 2018 opens with great aromatic vigour & energy; acidity also drives intense, textured layers to lengthy conclusion. Flavoursome rather than fruity, glimpses of honey, tropical tones to firmly dry finish. Will age well, like 2017 (5 stars, 98 pts).

The Sadie Family Wines – Pofadder is named for shape of Riebeek Mountain, origin of old cinsaut vines. 2019 riper than 2018 (4.5 stars, 91 pts) (the vines were better buffered against drought says Eben Sadie). Theres depth & complexity in its perfume, a sophistication of red fruit & spice, enriched on the well-fleshed palate. Soundly built, the youthful tannins in equilibrium with richness & concentration. Memorable.
