"Eben Sadie says he loves making his 100% Grenache wine because the whole cellar is filled with the aroma of strawberries, cherries, and pomegranates!"
"On the nose, this extremely elegant and fragrant red wine reveals aromas of cut strawberries, pomegranates, rose hips, orange peel, and wet stones. There are also notes of sour cherries. It is medium-bodied, very fresh and silky, with very fine, harmonious but present tannins. The finish is persistent and salty. A beautiful expression of Grenache. Fermented and aged in concrete. Drink now or keep." (James Suckling 2025)

About 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 livelier notes than the 2023 vintage. Aromas of red cherries and cranberries. The palate is medium-bodied, with a tart attack, notes of red cherries, pomegranate, and crushed strawberries, and a slightly tannic finish. A charming Soldaat that will provide 12 to 15 years of enjoyment. 2025-2038
