Sadie Family
T'Voetpad White Blend 2021
Haven’t seen this in OZ but Sadie Family have been producing some terrific wines including Semillon and Chenin blends. I had a Kokerboom (Semillon) recently and highly recommend.
Probably one of the best South African producers - both white and red.

@David White South African wines are generally hard to come by in Australia for some reason. I agree regarding Sadie wines. Their Columella (Syrah) I had a few years ago was excellent.
@David White and @Bob McDonald yes I have had a few of their wines , and have been very impressed , great purity and precision … I actually shared a bottle of their Cinsault ‘ Pofadder’ with an Aussie friend of mine recently who bought it in a very good and diverse wine shop in Taipei … very difficult to find it in Sydney apparently

Mullineux Family Wines
Straw Wine Chenin Blanc
Delicious. Replacement for the Château d'Yquem Sauternes previously on the Reserve Tasting Menu; not mad at this South African straw wine, however, as the 2022 vintage was served as the finale for our meal at Da Terra in London as well. Top marks! — 2 months ago

Kloof Street Swartland Rouge Red Blend 2021
Excellent. Well blended. Fruity hint of plum and black cherries to me. Rather delicious wine. Highly recommended. Had many bottles in SA. Simple wine yet yummy — 8 months ago

Medium straw colour . Quite reserved on the nose , cool green apple , slightly chalky , mineral notes . On the palate this is quite saline and mineral focused , with high acidity , bone dry , green fruits , slightly creamy texture . Good length. This can age really quite well and is pretty young at the moment , would be inclined to leave another 3-4 years and will drink well a further 5-10 . — 6 days ago
