Critics Ratings
The Sadies' outstanding white blend mixes Chenin Blanc with Roussanne, Clairette Blanche and Viognier from a dozen different vineyards, using more Roussanne than in 2013. Old oak, full malolactic and layer upon layer of complex flavours distinguish the wine, with baking spices, apple pie, stone fruit, honey and a core of chiselled acidity.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 95/100
'Authoritative white blend evokes hidden ravines, rugged black scrub, terracotta & yellow soil thanks to 12 mostly dryland bushvine blocks, some 50+ years. Touch livelier than 2013 but no less seductive, thrilling.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*
