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
Treinspoor 2020 is a compilation of very many years of persistence with this variety. We have highlighted the fact that it has most probably been the greatest red variety planted in the Swartland for years. It just transports terroir and the typicality of the site much more successfully than most other red varietals. This 2020 is the result of 10 years of working the golden threads we could read in the makeup of this cultivar. The spicy, mineral, graphite and earthy characteristics flow into a basis of tannins and textures; and this wine has almost no start nor any end. We urge you to age this wine. Have one bottle in an emergency, but leave the rest of the case for the next decade of fine wine drinking. Tinta Barocca has a big temperament and needs big temperament ownership.
Food Pairing
Red meat is the obvious choice and the wine has a great affinity with duck as well as various game meats.
