About this Item

2014 White
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Sequillo is Latin for ‘an arid dry place of great purity’, a venture started by Eben Sadie at his Swartland cellar. Aiming to showcase Swartland’s terroir, he utilised Mediterranean and Rhône varietals best suited to the conditions to create a white and red blend. Quoted by Eben to be ‘some of my best releases to date’, this was the first time the varieties were co-fermented, resulting in greater integration, balance and ultimately a better wine.

This vintage was one of the last to be released before Eben decided to focus fulltime on Sadie Family Wines. Sequillo red and white are now extremely rare.

Critics Ratings

'From Chenin Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Viognier, Verdellho and Palomino. White peach, yellow apple and a curious hint of reduction. Ripe and weighty and arguably lacking some tension. - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za (May 2015)
