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. 7 vineyards and 3 different soils make up his tiny 7 hectare farm. Columella, his red wine, named after one of the wine trade's earliest scribes, sees 24 months in oak and is racked every 6 months. Eben's white wine, Palladius, is arguably more impressive still: a delicious blend of 60+ year-old bush vine Chenin Blanc and Viognier.

From the first sniff, the 2020 Columella is an instant champion that is pointing and swinging for the fence. With its fresh frame of fruit and expertly layered oaky essences, the wine is incredibly complex as it bursts from the glass with precision and finesse. Medium-bodied and with 13.5% alcohol, the Columella somersaults into a phantasmagoria of bright crunchy red fruit flavors and seductive floral essences that makes my head spin. Collectors will take note and add a couple of bottles of this to their cellar. It’s an absolutely stellar bottling that will age gracefully for decades.Wine Advocate 98
