Sadie Family
Palladius Swartland White Blend
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.

Jul 23rd, 2015It’s been years since I had tried this wine and tonight it was not quite as I remembered it, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. Tonight it was more integrated and mellowed out; smoothed over like river stones, lacking the vibrance of bright colors but still showing a nice ‘pastel’ maturity that was very pleasing.

Jan 19th, 2019(16.5/20) Вино насыщенно золотистого цвета с ароматом спелых яблок, зеленого миндаля, крема-брюле и ванили. Тельное с "меловой" текстурой и умеренной кислотностью. Во вкусе преобладают сушеные яблоки, дыня, банан, есть немного мёда и орехов. Интересное вино в оксидативном стиле.
