Sadie Family Wines
The Sadie Family strives for wines that are fresh flavorsome refined harmonious and balanced and aims to offer drinking pleasure at the highest level of quality at any stage of a wine's life: the wine-drinker's eagerness for a further glass is their measure of achievement! The Sadie's two wines Columella and Palladius originate in the soils in the Swartland region which stretches north of Cape Town between Durbanville and Piketberg inland from the Atlantic Ocean and centered on the town of Malmesbury. Importantly the area has a remarkably stable climate allowing a consistent level of quality each year in subtly different vintage conditions.
Description
Throughout the picking of this 2019 it was amazing how well the 17 pieces of the puzzle that make up this wine just perfectly fell into place - and so effortlessly. The vineyards ripened in perfect order and in perfect ratio to one another. The 2019 Palladius probably displays the most complex of aromas: not only is the wine very fresh, with a bright green edge apple fruit, but it then goes into stone fruit and exit with the tropical aromatics. The advantage is that across the spectrum we managed to capture a greater acidity than with the 2018, but with more volume and texture. The mouthfeel and equilibrium of this vintage is unmatched in any of our other whites. In many vintages the Mev. Kirsten poses the same depth and volume, but in this vintage Palladius surpasses all others. The composure of this wine is an absolutely singular aspect and it will benefit much from proper ageing.
