One of the most renowned wineries in South Africa is led by visionary winemaker Eben Sadie.

The vineyards of Sadie Family are situated in some of the most isolated and historic sites in the country, where old vines contribute to remarkable depth and character.
Eben Sadie is known for his meticulous attention to detail, both in the vineyard and the cellar.

Terroir
The Pofadder vineyard, also located in South Africa’s renowned Swartland region, is a place where the heritage of old vines and the region’s challenging natural conditions come together to produce truly unique wines. This vineyard is planted with Cinsault, a grape variety known for its deep historical roots in the local culture. The soils, composed of shale and decomposed schist, impart a distinctive mineral nuance that is characteristic of the region.
Warm days and cool nights are a crucial combination for the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. This results in wines that are both powerful and complex, with rich aromas of dark fruit and an earthy depth. The old vines of Pofadder, which struggle against drought conditions, produce concentrated grapes that form the foundation of a wine with a structured tannin profile and vibrant intensity.

Jannes helped me choose for a special food pairing, and the whole process felt easy and trustworthy. I don’t have a cellar to store wines for years. Buying loose bottles in there drinking window is a big advantage. Shipping was good. B. Denruyter
After opening too many wines too early in the past, this feels different. The timing has been spot on. I like the freedom of buying without allocations and choosing single bottles. Delivery has been consistently good. R. Bontemps
The advice from Jannes made the selection feel personal, not generic. The wine I ordered for Christmas was exactly as expected. I didn’t need a full case, so buying individual bottles works well. Everything arrived safely and on time. D. Smits
