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.
Winemakers personal tasting note:
'We again bottled two single vineyard wines during 2017. The names of these wines comes from the local “tongue” from the workers working, pruning, harvesting and sweating in these vineyards, as a tribute to them and the farmers who planted and also who own these vineyards.
The contrast of this wine is what we love to farm: shale in the Paardeberg...a shallow, shale rich hill (kop) is not very typical of the granite mountain of the Swartland. Planted in 1985, dry land farmed bush vines. The 2017 vintage is to date the most intense vintage in terms of Skaliekop. Grapes were picked very early due to the drought and heat in the vintage of 2017 and we managed to produce a wine that is low in alcohol with the most amazing acidity profile, ensuring longevity of the vintage.' - David & Nadia Sadie
