Eben Sadie Pofadder 2023 Swartland

Pofadder is Eben Sadie's expression of Cinsaut from the Swartland, sourced from old, dry-farmed bush vines planted on schist soils in the Riebeeksrivier area. Part of the Old Vine Series, it shows the seriousness and longevity Cinsaut can achieve at low yields. The 2023 was fermented in concrete, with a proportion of whole bunches, before maturation in older large-format oak. It is medium-bodied and precise, with wild strawberry, cranberry and floral notes alongside an earthy, mineral character, fresh acidity and fine, firm tannins giving a long, linear finish.
