“The new vintage of Sadie’s 100% Tinta Barocca is synonymous with harmony, finesse, and elegance...”

“This spicy, dark yet pure wine offers aromas of licorice, violet, blackberry, cranberry, graphite, and hints of fennel. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, firm, and concentrated, with fantastic spicy notes. Lots of structure. A tight, firm finish. Tinta Barroca from 50-year-old vines. Best enjoyed after 2026.” (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:

The Treinspoor 2024 is a pure Tinta Barocca that Sadie says she loves, even though he had to discard a large portion of the fruit from that vintage due to drought—about 35%. It blossoms on the nose with sensual aromas of red fruit, rooibos, Earl Grey, and subtle mineral notes, beautifully defined and concentrated. The palate is medium-bodied, with a lively attack, impressive density and weight, very pure, and perhaps the most sensual of Sadie’s OVS wines for this vintage. Just a slight hint of crushed black pepper on the finish. Excellent. 2026–2046
