Sadie Family Old Vine 'T Voetpad 2025

This vintage in Voetpad starts off by showing more of the waxy lanolin aromatics associated with Semillon, then bends into more tropical aspects associated with Chenin Blanc, wrapped in earthier characteristics and an almost sandalwood scent on the aromatic backdrop. The strawbale/hay characteristic that is synonymous with the vineyard is also present. The tannins in this 2025 vintage are very compact, yet refined and delicate. It needs some time in the bottle

analysis : alc : 13.5 % vol rs : 2.3 g/l pH : 3.2 ta : 5.6 g/l

type : White wooded

pack : Bottle size : 750ml closure : Cork

ageing : The wine is left in casks and foudre for the entire first 12 months on the fermentation lees and we bottle from the lees. Two weeks prior to bottling, we transfer the wine to a blending tank and add around 60 mg/litre of sulphur for protection during bottling. The wine normally settles to perfect clarity and can then be bottled unfiltered.

in the vineyard : The vineyard’s survival without irrigation is also extraordinary in this hot valley in the north of the huge Swartland region, near the village of Aurora and Elands Bay on the coast. Its precise location has allowed it to survive, with an underground river flowing beneath it from the mountains

about the harvest: Voetpad is a field blend of all the varieties - they are picked together in one morning.
