The wine
The cuvée Soldaat (which means soldier in Arikaner) is a 100% Grenache wine. It is refined and elegant, with a nice level of concentration and great length. The grapes are grown on soils of decomposed granite. Harvests are manual and vinification takes place by way of fermentation in concrete vats for almost a month.
About the Producer The Sadie Family
The Sadie family is a South-African family-owned domain, created by Eben Sadie, who also co-created the beautiful winery Terroir Al Limit in Priorat, Spain.
Situated in the Swatland region, The Sadie Family produces grapes from the region thanks to 48 parcels spread over 43 hectares, cultivated according to biodynamic principles, and with low yields. Passionate about the terroir, Eben Sadie believes that wine is made in the vineyard and so he continues to explore the land around him, while bring South African wines to the world. The domain is one of the finest in South Africa.
