The Sadie Family

Eben Sadie is undoubtedly the driving force behind this estate, which is also home to his sister and brother. A winemaker in the Swartland region, he produces, quite possibly, the finest wines in South Africa. He is also one of the most prominent and charismatic figures in the Southern Hemisphere wine industry. Eben Sadie has extensive international experience, having worked in Austria, Spain, Germany, Italy, Oregon, and Burgundy. Upon his return to South Africa, he devoted himself to his own vineyard. The Sadie Family sources its grapes primarily from the Swartland region, one of South Africa's warmest wine-growing regions. Yet, all of its wines, both white and red, offer perfectly controlled alcohol levels and show no heaviness. Its supplies come from 54 plots spread over 38 hectares. All plots are cultivated biodynamically, and yields are extremely low.
