David & Nadia Sadie are a young husband and wife team whose thoughtful, sensitive approach to viticulture and winemaking has set them out as one of the Swartland’s shining stars. Their quest to nurture and restore low-yielding old vineyards is an effort to breathe new life into the region’s enviable stock of old vines and shine a light on the qualities of the beautiful Swartland at large. More than that though, they are also establishing new vineyards, which they have planted to Grenache Noir – their flagship variety, along with Chenin Blanc.

The core range comprises of four wines: Aristargos, a beautiful Cape White Blend; Elpidios, a Grenache-based Mediterranean blend; and two single varietals – Chenin Blanc and Grenache Noir. At their heart, the core wines are based on vineyards grown in the decomposed granite soils of the Paardeberg, bringing freshness and minerality, blended with schist, iron and clay-based sites, which builds complexity.

At the top of the quality pyramid are four single vineyard Chenin Blancs: Hoë-Steen, Skaliekop, Rondevlei and Plat’Bos, each a faithful reflection of a different underlying soil type (iron-rich clay, shale, and decomposed granite, respectively). From humble beginnings, David & Nadia are now recognised as one of the Cape’s very top producers.

As we prepare for the release of the new vintages, we are privileged to offer you the opportunity to taste these wines that you so faithfully buy every year to put away in your cellars. David will personally present the full range in a tutored tasting format.
