Sadie Family "Mev. Kirsten" 2023
"Steen in Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch. A blend of young vines that are harvested first and fermented in 500 liter casks and old vines that harvested two weeks later and fermented in neutral foudre. The old Chenin Blanc, perhaps the oldest in all of South Africa, belongs to Ms Kirsten. Golden Delicious apple, texture, longevity.
Eben Sadie is considered one of the great visionaries and preservationists among South African winemakers. He is outspoken about his obsession with terroir and making sure the Swartland region is recognized as a place to make exceptional, authentic and highly coveted wines.
He founded Sadie Family Wines in 1999, after establishing his career in both South Africa and wineries across the world and released his first vintage of Columella in 2000. He was one of the first to focus on creating wines that express their area, or a single vineyard, rather than blending extensively across regions which was unconventional at the time." -Supplier notes
