"This 1.4-hectare vineyard in the heart of the Piketberg Mountains is one of the oldest still in production in the Swartland: one of Sadie's rarest wines!"

“On the nose, this smooth and richly textured white wine reveals aromas of chamomile, thyme, grapefruit peel, mango, and vanilla bean. It is full-bodied, creamy, and enveloping. A delightful finish. A blend of Sémillon, Palomino, Chenin Blanc, and a touch of Muscat of Alexandria. Sourced from a mixed-varietal vineyard planted in 1887. Ready to drink now or worth cellaring.” (James Suckling 2025)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 96/100 (Extraordinary wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The Sadie family’s 2024 “Die Distriksreeks 'T Voetpad,” from the Swartland, is a blend of old vines with deep character, composed of Chenin Blanc, Sémillon Blanc, Sémillon Gris, and Palomino, offering rich depth, hints of hay, and remarkable length. Although it is a white wine, it possesses the body and structure of a red wine, with a long, textured finish. Planted in 1887 on the Piketberg Mountains and still cultivated as a true mixed-varietal vineyard, this 1.4-hectare site remains one of the oldest vineyards in production in the Swartland. It is a true South African “unicorn wine.” 2026–2038
