"This has flavours of straw bales, lanolin and anise aromatics alongside some very ripe peach flavours. The palate is extremely strict in terms of the defining tannins being quite affirmative at this stage, but is still balanced with a savoury finish."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

The Sadie Family Winery

The Sadie Family winery is headed by Eben Sadie. Eben is considered to be one of the absolute leaders of the new generation of South African winemakers. He is a visionary that is trying to put not just put the region he grows in, Swartland, on the map but also South Africa. He is producing wines that are true expressions of grapes, soils and regions with all of the wines made being highly coveted and extraordinarily good. Eben Sadie founded the winery in 1999 and has been making incredible wines ever since.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Rhone White Blend

Just like the Rhone Red Blend you will often find an amalgam of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier in blends. Whilst they are less common than their red counterparts they play an important role in the aromatic white world. Leading winemakers in South Africa, Australia and California have helped to popularise them outside of France.

--------THE REGION--------

Swartland

Swartland is a small area that is just north of the Paarl district. It is surrounded by mountains - the most famous of which is the Paardeberg. It has quite a varied topography with shallow valleys and high slopes in the foothills of the mountains which allows for a wide variety of wines to be made here. Overall it is known for its extremely ripe and complex Riesling and Chenin Blancs and its fruit-forward Syrahs.
