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 2024 Skerpioen offers peach and citrus tones with subtle tropical fruit nuances, leading into the vineyard’s distinctive salty brine character. The slightly softer acidity compared to previous vintages makes it approachable earlier, while still retaining freshness and minerality from the limestone-rich soils. Aromatically expressive, it combines coastal salinity with delicate fruit purity for a balanced and textured palate.
Food Pairing
Ideal with fresh seafood such as grilled prawns or oysters, lightly spiced calamari, or creamy lemon risotto. The wine’s coastal salinity and citrus lift also complement soft goat’s cheese and seasonal salads.
