The Sadie Family Wines | South Africa | Swartland |
Vineyard | At the base are 14 vineyards on Paardeberg Mountain, 1 on Piketberg and 2 at St. Helena Bay. All very different in terms of exposition and planting. The vineyards are not irrigated, something that is common in Swartland. The soil consists of granite, sandstone and pebbles. |

Vinification | After harvest, the grapes are sorted manually. Pressed in an old basket-press and the juice then goes directly into amphorae, concrete eggs. In these, the wine stays for 12 months before the wines are blended and transferred to large old wooden barrels. The wine stays in these barrels for 12 months. Fermentation is spontaneous and is not triggered by additives. Fermentation also stops by itself and there is no intervention. Only after this is the final blend made and bottled. Yield was 29 hl/ha. |
