Sadie Family Wines Kokerboom 2017 Olifants River

Sémillion Blanc and Sémillon Gris

Sémillion Blanc and Sémillon Gris from Trekpoort Kloof, Olifants River. This 90+ year-old vineyard has stood the test of time. Picked earlier than usual due to the tough vintage conditions. The wine displays much tighter and compact structure. The aromas start off being very spicy with ginger aspects and then grow and become more herbal. There are even some baked guava flavours that is compressed by waxy characteristics. It is for sure a fresher version of this vineyard in a bottle. - Eben Sadie
