2020 Sadie Family Treinspoor

Eben Sadie is considered one of the pioneers in South African viticulture. Because of his insight it can be said that the Swartland region came to be seen in a completely different light. It was Eben who found the older vineyards here and made his famous Columella and Palladius.

Like all wines of the Sadie Family, this Treinspoor is a very scarce, great wine with an impressive aging potential. Like the big brother, this Treinspoor is made from the Tinta Barocca. In the glass, the wine has a bright ruby red color with a scent that opens slowly. It has a captivating bouquet with raspberries, cranberry leaf, tobacco and moist, wet clay-like aromas and lots of spiciness like cloves, nutmeg and some pepper. Followed by a good spicy taste with a fine acidity and refined tannins. The wine has firm tannins that can be compared to Barolo's and Barberesco's from Piemonte. This is a great South African wine.
