About this Item

2014 Aristargos
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

When one considers the long list of acclaim and reputation built from releasing top quality wines, vintage after vintage, from their restored 220 year old cellar on Paardebosch farm on the slopes of the Paardeberg in the Swartland, it's hard to imagine that David & Nadia Sadie established this brand as recent as 2010 only. The wines are characteristically fine and elegant, expressive of the places they come from. The focus lies on a spectrum of organic, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types throughout the Swartland, farmed by like-minded people. Considered one of the 'young guns' during the fine wine revolution of the Swartland, David's wines are now considered among the best in the region and beyond.

Critics Ratings

'The Sadies’ outstanding white blend mixes Chenin Blanc with Roussanne, Clairette Blanche and Viognier from a dozen different vineyards, using more Roussanne than in 2013. Old oak, full malolactic and layer upon layer of complex flavours distinguish the wine, with baking spices, apple pie, stone fruit, honey and a core of chiselled acidity. Drink: 2015-22' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 95 Points

'Authoritative white blend evokes hidden ravines, rugged black scrub, terracotta & yellow soil thanks to 12 mostly dryland bushvine blocks, some 50+ years. Touch livelier than 2013 but no less seductive, thrilling.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*
