About this Item
Eben Sadie is South Africa's most revered winemaker and he arguably kicked-started the fine wine revolution. Over two decades his pursuit for quality in the Swartland has been unparalleled in South Africa and he was voted Winemaker of the Year in 2017 by the International Master of Wine Institute.
Only 450 cases of the Pofadder was produced, a 100% Cinsault from the Riebeek Mountain. It gets its name from the serpentine shape of the mountain and forms part of Sadie's Old Vine Series (Ouwingerdreeks), South Africa's most sought-after wines.

Critics Ratings
"Eben Sadie's pure Cinsault has done wonders for the reputation of this under-rated variety in the Cape. Fermented in concrete and large wooden foudres with 100% whole bunches, this is fine and refreshing, with damson and black cherry fruit and more acidity than the 2013 release. Drink: 2015-20" - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2015, 95/100
