Sadie Family Piekenierskloof Soldaat 2021
Regular price $151.00
Old Vine Series. Soldaat is a 100% grenache from a parcel of 55-year-old vines in the highland Piekenierskloof region. The vineyard got its name from the foot soldiers (piekeniers) who once used this area as a lookout. Hence the name of the wine, Soldaat (‘soldier’). Sadie’s east-facing parcel sits around 780 meters—one of the Cape’s highest elevations—and the soil is decomposed granite. The vines here are unirrigated and still on their own rootstock. Very distinctive red cherry and redcurrant nose, medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, very transparent with a touch of sage and white pepper. Vibrant and poised. - Bibendum, importer
