Tasting notes

The 2018 Old Vine Series Pofadder begins with a lighter floral expression with tart red fruits, with a tightly knit firm rocky core. On the palate, the wine is tightly structured with rigidity and rusticity, showing a serious wine, with flavors of cranberry and cherries skin that grip the tongue. Medium-bodied and with bright acidity, the red-fruited finish lingers long with taut mineral tension. For a lighter wine, it is cellar-worthy and incredibly food-friendly.

About this wine

The Sadie Family - 'Pofadder' - Cinsault

The Sadie Family is a renowned South African winery that has been producing exceptional wines for over two decades. Their 'Pofadder' Cinsault is a true gem that showcases the unique terroir of the Swartland region.

On the nose, this wine offers a bouquet of red fruit, such as cherries and raspberries, with a hint of spice and earthiness. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture and a refreshing acidity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant finish.

The Cinsault grape has a long history in South Africa, where it was originally used for blending. However, winemakers like Eben Sadie have recognized its potential to produce exceptional single-varietal wines. The 'Pofadder' is a testament to this, as it showcases the grape's unique character and the winery's commitment to quality.

This wine is best enjoyed with grilled meats, such as lamb or beef, or with hearty stews. It also pairs well with hard cheeses, such as aged cheddar or gouda. Whether you're enjoying it at a dinner party or a cozy night in, the 'Pofadder' Cinsault is sure to impress.
