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
The 2024β―Rotsbank delivers intriguing layers of aromaβgunflint and seaweed lead, followed by tropical granadilla notes. A line of green tea traces the palate, concluding with fine, drying tannins. The wine stands out with remarkable length and elegance. While initially reduced and shy, aeration upon opening significantly enhances its expression. It is a very linear and firm rendition of Chenin Blanc.
Food Pairing
This very restrained and firm wine will pair exceptionally well with shellfish.
