Swarland The Sadie Family T Voetpad 2017

The wine

T’Voetpaad, which means ‘road’ in Afrikaner, is a blend of Sémillon Blanc, Sémillon Gris, Palomino, and Muscat d’Alexandrie. On the nose, it gives off aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit), exotic fruits, and notes of rose petals. Complex and balanced on the palate.

About the Producer The Sadie Family

The Sadie family is a South-African family-owned domain, created by Eben Sadie, who also co-created the beautiful winery Terroir Al Limit in Priorat, Spain.

Driven by a passion for terroir and the conviction that wine is primarily made in the vineyard, he continues to explore his homeland, showcasing South Africa’s winemaking heritage. Eben also travels the ‘Old World’, visiting top estates in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Burgundy. He even ventures to Oregon, seeking to understand what it is about the wines there that captivate him and how they differ from the nectars of his homeland.

Situated in the Swatland region, The Sadie Family produces grapes from the region thanks to 48 parcels spread over 43 hectares, cultivated according to biodynamic principles, and with low yields. Passionate about the terroir, Eben Sadie believes that wine is made in the vineyard and so he continues to explore the land around him, while bring South African wines to the world. The domain is one of the finest in South Africa.
