Sadie Family 2021 Die Ouwingerdreeks Skerpioen White
Chenin Blanc, Palomino | Alc: 13.5%
Swartland, South Africa

Winemaker’s notes:
Sadie Family 2021 Skerpioen (Scorpion) White follows the salt trail on the West Coast. The usual very saline mineral qualities and hints of honey blossom carry through into gripping chalky tannins and firm acidity. This 2021 bottling carries much of its aromatic profile onto the palate.

Critical Acclaim:
“An instant delight, the 2021 Old Vine Series Skerpioen is bright and salty with a citrus-focused nose that offers soft notions of white flowers and sea spray. Medium-bodied, the wine compresses on the palate and shows energetic acidity with flavors of white spiced tea, lemon pith and citrus blossom before ending with a food-friendly, mineral-laced finish. It’s a brilliant wine that will find synergistic effects from being paired with food. Best After 2023” 94+ Pts – Wine Advocate
