Sadie Family Swartland Sonvang 2024

Swartland. First release. Planted in 2019, Sadie’s young co-planted vineyard sits on the granite soils of the western slope of the Paardeberg. Due to its aspect, it soaks up most of the afternoon sun, hence the name Sonvang, which means “sun catch.” “The concept behind this wine is establishing a single vineyard site with [Mediterranean] grape varieties that will brace and stand in the future climate change,” explains Sadie. “At the same time, the vineyard, with a myriad of dynamics and grape varieties, will enable us to produce a complex wine by virtue of its dynamics.”
