Sadie Family Wines
Philosophy
Eben Sadie is the architect of the Swartland revolution — the movement that rediscovered South Africa's old vine heritage and created a distinctly Cape identity in wine. Columella (Old vine Syrah/Mourvèdre, Swartland) and Palladius (white blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Viognier) are South Africa's most internationally collected wines. Sadie's philosophy: minimal intervention, specific site expression, old vine preservation.
Reputation
