David and Nadia Sadie craft the David & Nadia Aristargos 2025 to benchmark Swartland’s old-vine potential. The flagship blend combines fruit from 13 distinct dryland vineyards planted mainly on granite and clay soils. The David & Nadia Aristargos 2025 features Chenin Blanc alongside Sémillon, Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette Blanche, and Colombar. The wine matures for 11 months in neutral oak barrels and concrete vessels to preserve freshness and textural focus.

Aromatic notes of white peach, citrus peel, and warm spice meet subtle flinty notes on the nose. The palate delivers concentrated stone fruit depth, lively acidity, and a long, savory mineral finish.
