Information about "Sadie Family Columella 2023"
The Sadie Family Columella 2023 is a masterfully crafted blend that captivates with its cool, mineral essence and herbal notes, underlined by a complex array of spices. The inviting aromas of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry create an intriguing profile. On the palate, it offers a dynamic acidity, subtle minerality, and an extraordinary length that lingers beautifully. Winemaker Eben Sadie describes this wine as dancing lightly on the palate, all while carrying an immense weight that tantalizes the senses. A truly exceptional wine of masterful class!
The grapes were pressed in a traditional basket press and then spontaneously fermented in large open fermenters for three weeks in concrete tanks. After fermentation, the wine aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 5% being new wood. Following this, the wine was transferred to large oval foudres, where it spent an additional year on fine lees. After a total aging period of two years, the wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined.
