David and Nadia Sadie craft the David & Nadia Elpidios 2024 to capture Swartland’s regional diversity. Sourced from nine dryland vineyards on granite, schist, and clay soils, the wine features Grenache Noir alongside Syrah, Carignan, Pinotage, and Cinsault. Whole-bunch fermentation and spontaneous yeasts give the David & Nadia Elpidios 2024 vibrant aromatics, while 12 months in old oak barrels delivers refined textural balance.
- Winemag.co.za / Christian Eedes: 95 Points (“Intellectually demanding rather than showy – a slow-burner that rewards attention.”)
- Tim Atkin MW: 94 Points (Benchmark Grenache-led Swartland red blend)
Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried fynbos spice lead into a palate of juicy pomegranate and plum. Fine-grained tannins and slate minerals carry through to a long, refreshing finish.
