Understanding The Sadie Family, Skerpioen, Swartland, Coastal Region
The grapes for The Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen are carefully sourced from select vineyards within the Swartland region of South Africa. Swartland's unique terroir, characterised by ancient sandy, limestone soils and a warm, Mediterranean climate, provides the ideal setting for nurturing exceptional grapes. The vineyards are meticulously tended, ensuring that the fruit attains optimal ripeness and flavour complexity. Following harvest, grapes undergo gentle pressing to extract the purest juice. Fermentation takes place in old oak foudres with natural yeast and can last up to six months depending on the vintage. The wine ages for 12 months in acacia and oak barrels on lees to add texture, depth and complexity. The Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen displays vibrant red fruit, a hint of spice and subtle earthiness in a silky palate. This wine has outstanding potential to evolve gracefully over time.
