The Sadie Family Wines


Eben Sadie's fervour and flair for winemaking have propelled him into the limelight and he has been described in some quarters as arguably South Africa's hottest young winemaker.Supported by his wife Maria, this former Spice Route hand is producing brilliantly poised terroir wines as he seeks to emulate his favourite drinking wines - those of the Rhône and Priorat.

7 vineyards and 3 different soils make up his tiny 7 hectare farm. Columella, his red wine, named after one of the wine trade's earliest scribes, sees 24 months in oak and is racked every 6 months. Eben's white, Palladius, is arguably more impressive still: a delicious blend of 55-year-old bush vine Chenin Blanc and Viognier.

Both vintages of this are exceptional. Full, lively and tangy with almost bitter-lemon-like zing. Seems packed with the scent of wild flowers. Racy yet rich. Still quite youthful. Should develop into something pretty exciting.

"Eben has blended 80% Syrah & 20% Mourvedre from four different Swartland mountain soils (granite, clay, gravel, slate), vinifying the fruit for 6 wks in 20 hl open wooden fermenters before ageing the wine for 24 months in Bordeaux barrels.
