About this Item

2015, 2016, 2017 Hoe-Steen
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.

David & Nadia is a family owned Swartland Winery who have quickly become one of the best white wine producers in South Africa. Made from fifty-year-old vines, in minute quantities in the Western Swartland, it carries the Certified Heritage Vineyards seal. Hoe Steen’s unique character, purity and presence has seen it gain critical acclaim across the world.

Critics Ratings

Stellar scores by British Master of Wine, Tim Atkin, includes 98 points for the 2017 vintage, 97 for 2016, and of course the White Wine of the Year award for the 2015 (98 points).

“There’s only one barrel of this, alas, because it’s the greatest South African Chenin Blanc I’ve ever tasted. Grown on granite, quartz and ferricrete soils, this comes from a 50-year-old vineyard in the western part of the Swartland. Stone, jasmine and hawthorn aromas segue into a remarkable array of flavours: wet wool, lees, beeswax, struck match, vanilla spice and minerality. Truly one of the great Cape whites. Drink: 2016-24” - Tim Atkin, SA Wine Report 2016, 98/100.
