The Sadie Family Wines | South Africa | Olifantsrivier |
Vineyard | Wine from only chenin blanc from a vineyard in Swartland-Paardeberg. The soil consists of granite and the vines have difficulty penetrating the soil with their roots. According to Eben, it is almost a miracle that the vineyard has survived every year. The vineyard produces fruit with enormous minerality. |

Vinification | Grapes from the vineyards are first cooled back for 3 hours after the harvest. Fermentation starts spontaneously, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine stays on the lees for 12 months in old large wooden barrels. The wine has not been clarified or filtered and is best decanted before drinking. Yield 32 hl/ha. |
