Secure the highly-rated Sadie Skerpioen 2024 750ml for a uniquely complex white blend. The Sadie Family produces this wine from a single, 90-year-old vineyard. This site sits between Dwarskersbos and Elands Bay in the Swartland. Chalky limestone soils only 2km from the Atlantic Ocean define this terroir. The vineyard is brutally exposed and extremely dry. This concentrates the fruit and provides its hallmark saline character.
- Tim Atkin MW awarded 99 Points in his South Africa Special Report.
- Neal Martin (Vinous) gave the wine an impressive 96 Points.
- James Suckling also rated it highly with 96 Points.
- This collectible wine features a unique combination of Chenin and Palomino on limestone.
- The drinking window is recommended from 2026 to 2040.
The wine is an equal field blend of Chenin Blanc and Palomino. Winemakers whole-bunch press the grapes. Natural yeasts ferment the juice in old wooden foudres. The wine matures on its lees for 12 months in cask. The Sadie Skerpioen 2024 vintage offers a slightly fuller body than usual. The nose reveals intense aromas of sea spray, salted almonds, and lemon curd. The palate is creamy, textured, and medium-to-full-bodied. It delivers a vibrant, saline freshness and a long, delicious finish. Critics note the Chenin Blanc portion speaks louder this year.
