About the wine:
“The Pofadder 2024 is the fruitiest I’ve ever seen,” remarks Eben Sadie. “Many people harvest early to achieve a Burgundian style, but this terroir allows the wine to reach full maturity with 13% alcohol. The schist soil is very important for this, as the vines struggle a bit here.” It offers a crystalline bouquet with mineral aromas of red fruit and bergamot that burst from the glass unrestrainedly. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a soft attack, and a powdery texture, with a mineral/stony finish that lends it a slight fragility. This Pofadder offers great transparency. Excellent. 2027–2045
