Description
 
Eben Sadie started his winemaking career working for Charles Back’s Spice Route – labelled wines before breaking off on his own in 1999. Over the past decade he has acquired the reputation as the most innovative, even anarchic winemaker in South Africa. He is a great believer in blends, rather than single varietal wines, and in terroir. Sadie eschews what he regards as the obsession in South Africa to plant French varietals and instead sees Mediterranean vines as the most suited to the Swartland region which is where he has established his winery. He is scathing of the bureaucracy within the South African wine authorities which prevent him from planting Spanish, Italian or Portuguese varietals.

Proving that Cinsault can be world-class and age-worthy, the 2021 Old Vine Series Pofadder is deeper in color this year and has a focused core of crunchy red fruits and hints of roses with a lively mineral essence. Medium-bodied, the wine has an ethereal mouthfeel, fine mineral tension and an electric mid-palate that sashays with a seductive nature, revealing its complexities and secrets. With precision and finesse, the wine ends with lingering flavors of potpourri and wild raspberry. Bravo! I can't keep my hands off it. Wine Advocate 95
