David & Nadia
David & Nadia is a family-owned project that focuses on producing wines from a spectrum of organically farmed, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types, and exclusively from the Swartland. David and Nadia are members of the Swartland Independent Producers with a natural and minimalistic approach in mind. In the cellar they work as naturally as possible and only add sulphur to their wines. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. They believe in a pure, fresh and natural style where site and soil are at work with a minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.
Description
"‘Grapes from eight vineyards, planting dates ranging from 1968 to 1986. Matured for 11 months, 80% in neutral oak and 20% in concrete. Struck-match reduction before peach, lemon and orange plus fynbos and earth. The palate is dense but equally taut – pure fruit and punchy acidity before a dry finish. Most accomplished." Christian Eedes
