"Eben Sadie says he loves vinifying his 100% Grenache cuvée because the whole cellar is perfumed with its scents of strawberry, cherry and pomegranate!"
"On the nose, this extremely elegant and fragrant red wine reveals aromas of cut strawberries, pomegranate, rosehip, orange peel and wet stones. There are also notes of sour cherries. Medium-bodied, very fresh and silky, with very fine, harmonious yet present tannins. The finish is persistent and salty. A fine expression of Grenache. Fermented and aged in concrete. Drink or cellar. (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
Soldaat 2024 is Sadie's Grenache cuvée, with a slightly higher alcohol content than previous vintages, fermented and aged in concrete. This is evident on the nose, which is more generous, with slightly brighter notes than the 2023 vintage. Aromas of red cherries and cranberries. The palate is medium-bodied, with a tangy attack, notes of red cherries, pomegranate and crushed strawberries, and a slightly tannic finish. A charming Soldaat that will provide 12-15 years of pleasure. 2025-2038
