Aging so well! Incredible freshness and waxy texture. Full wine that wears alcohol well. Balanced in fruit and winemaking.

Smelled like White Burgundy. Hard to believe this doesn’t see new oak. Vanilla, pear, honeysuckle. One blind taster guessed Washington Chenin! Delicious, but tough to justify the price point.

This 2009 Sadie family wine is golden, rich, divine, delicious. A secret trove of grapes, we know there’s Chenin, as for the rest.... who can name them?

South Africa's greatest white wine? Richness. Levity. The definition of high-wire ambition. Tells a story of place (Swartland), person (Eben Sadie), and great, great white winemaking.

Such an awesome and complex white. I can't get enough of these Sadie wines. The richness of white burgundy with the purity of vouvray. All around winner
