About this Item
When one considers the long list of acclaim and reputation built from releasing top quality wines, vintage after vintage, from their restored 220 year old cellar on Paardebosch farm on the slopes of the Paardeberg in the Swartland, it's hard to imagine that David & Nadia Sadie established this brand as recent as 2010 only. The wines are characteristically fine and elegant, expressive of the places they come from. The focus lies on a spectrum of organic, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types throughout the Swartland, farmed by like-minded people. Considered one of the 'young guns' during the fine wine revolution of the Swartland, David's wines are now considered among the best in the region and beyond.
Critics Ratings
'Mid straw colour. Dry pungent nose. Mouth-filling and pretty confident without too much make-up. Lots of structure here for the long term. A solid effort without its being ethereal. A good mouthful of flowers and herbs that is already ready to enjoy. Long and confident.' – Jancis Robinson MW, JancinRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Sep 2015)
'The 2013 Aristargos is a blend of 28% Chenin Blanc, 28% Viognier, 17% Roussanne and 17% Clairette Blanche from Paarderberg and with respect to the Chenin, from Riebeeksrivier from a total of seven vineyards. It has a perfumed nose of lanolin, honeysuckle and jasmine that contains great vigor and definition. The palate is smooth and harmonious with white peach, nectarine, sage and fennel notes, with fine weight and persistence on the finish. Excellent. Just six barrels to go round.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Oct 2014)
