Vinous
"Sadie offers us a 100% Chenin cuvée from 80-year-old vines grown at the foot of the sublime Citrusdal Mountains!"
"Papayas, stones, apricots, chopped apples, hazelnuts and a little rosemary on the nose. It's compact and creamy, with a full body but plenty of stony minerality, as well as phenolic texture and grip. Salty and intense on the finish. Chenin Blanc planted on eroded limestone soil with high iron content. Drink or cellar. (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
Skurfberg 2024 comes from the north, from the drier regions of the Cape, and is the first of Sadie's Chenin Blancs to be harvested. It has a charming bouquet with aromas of beeswax, sea spray and light white linen, as well as a touch of seaweed. The palate is well-balanced, with a soft grip, very linear, very strict, a wine that doesn't do half measures. Serious, austere, but its sapidity invites you to take another sip. 2026-2046
