Treinspoor Swartland Tinta Barocca

Different than most SA wines I’ve had. Range of berries — red blue and black — and nice earthiness.

Couldn’t hold my fingers of my last bottle of Eben Sadie’s old vine series 2015 vintage. This time the Treinspoor; an old vine Tinta barocca. It takes a good three hours in the decanter to really present it self, but when it does, oh what an entrance. So complex, yet so transparent. The trademark Sadie earthyness is teasing in the background while the red and black berry fruit with a good ‘ol portion of floral notes is having its fun time in the foreground. In it’s infancy at the moment, this wine will age beautifully.
9.2 today with a future in the the 9.5 range

Lucky to find this in a specialty wine store in Johannesburg. High acidity, bright and light fruit notes, minerality. Interesting varietal to mix things up. Mildly reminiscent of Italian.
