July 29 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

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.

Based in the Paaderberg, David and Nadia Sadie have been producing some of South Africa’s most sought after Swartland wines since 2010. Their philosophy is to make wines that express natural balance, purity of fruit and vibrant freshness on the palate. To achieve this, David and Nadia pay respect to their vineyards, nurturing their wines from the soils all the way to the winery. With minimal intervention in the winery, their wines exhibit the efforts put into growing beautiful fruit out of their mountain terrain grow sights and bush vine vineyards.

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
