The winemaker

Winemaker Country Region
The Sadie Family Wines South Africa Swartland
About the winemaker Eben Sadie is counted among the pioneers in South African viticulture. Because of his insight it can be said, that the Swartland region came in a completely different light. It was Eben, who found the older vineyards here and made his famous Columella and Palladius. In 2012 he started a series of wines, also called the Ouwingerd series. A series of wines from vineyards with very old vines and the wines made from them are stunning. Through low yields and the craftsmanship of Eben Sadie, a new series of top wines from the Cape is born.

Details

Vineyard Wine made from a vineyard located 4km west of Malmesbury, which was planted with Tinta Barocca in 1974. The soil is rich in granite and sandstone (Table Mountain Sandstone). The grape is mainly found in the Portuguese Douro Valley, where it forms the basis of many Port wines. This grape was also widely planted in Swartland ( South Africa), but was in danger of losing its place.
Vinification Half of the bunches were destemmed and after a 25-day vinification, pressed using a basket press. After pressing, the wine was raised in large wooden casks for 11 months, then stayed on concrete for two more weeks before being bottled. Yield here is 18 hl/ha and the wine is neither clarified nor filtered and is best decanted before drinking.
