Vinification
In the late 19th century, and much of the 20th, Cinsault was the workhorse red variety that played an undeclared role in some great red blends. It was an obvious candidate for inclusion in any historical edition of wine, although it poses many challenges in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, including the difficulty of keeping yields down and attaining perfect ripeness, plus its very oxidative character. Simply put: one has to tread very carefully with all aspects of the cultivation and the production of Cinsaut but it does come with great reward if all is in check. We basically fill the concrete tanks whole cluster to about 50% and then destem 50% to get some juice in the tank to have the initiation of fermentation. The fermentation is for about 30 days on the skins and then we press the grapes in an old basket press.

The fermentation is for about 30 days on the skins and then press the grapes in an old basket press.
After pressing the wine is transferred into some 28 year old conical wooden casks that do not impart any wooden flavours and the age and the saturation of the wood also make for a very slow reaction of the resultant wine with oxygen. The wine is left on the lees for 11 months and then racked to another concrete tank for an additional month to settle clean.

Reviews
Tim Atkin (96/100)

Pofadder uses raw material from a 2.5-hectare block on the Riebeeksrivier farm in the
Swartland. Always approachable young, it's exceptionally so in 2024, with haunting schistderived
aromas that invite you into the glass. Subtle, charming and elegant, it has flavours of
rosehip, wild strawberry and Turkish Delight and a racy, mineral-etched core.

James Suckling (95/100)

This pulls you in with aromas of peppercorns, citrus rind, rosemary, red cherries and red currants. It’s supremely fresh and silky, with a medium body and fine, seamless tannins. Elegant, but with tension and texture. Cinsault.

R. Parker (95/100)

The Sadie Family 2024 Swartland Die Distriksreeks Pofadder is beautifully poised, showing sweet red fruit, nervous energy and finely framed tannins that underscore Cinsault’s reputation for approachable elegance. The wine balances fruit sweetness, firm structure and aging potential, built around depth rather than sheer weight. Sourced from iron-rich slate formations near Riebeeksrivier, this site gives the wine its distinctive tension and longevity. This is a beauty.

Eben Sadie has repositioned The Sadie Family’s former “Old Vine Series” under the new "Die Distriksreeks" (The District Series), shifting the focus from vine age to a clearer expression of place and viticulture. While the historic old vineyards remain central, Eben Sadie has increasingly emphasized farming precision and site identity over cellar technique. The evolving range—now including two new bottlings, the Twiswind white and Sonvang red—reflects his long-term ambition to formulate an "African" wine aesthetic.

Wine estate

After having worked for several years in the Priorat and having founded Terroir al Limit there, Eben Sadie returned to his South African roots.
As he said himself: "Winemakers have to make wine in the region where they were born. This is where they know best the terroir".

A new line at Jané Ventura's estate. Until now, there were only two whites in the range, an entry-level wine and a top wine. After a long period of experimentation, a new trio of wines was introduced, the Selecció (in white, red and rosé). These three wines are made with the grapes of 15 different vineyards planted with old vines. Skin contact maceration at low temperature (10°C). On the label is the Fina Mas Vilella, located in the uplands and surrounded by vines.

Description

This Son Negre is the flagship wine of this small Mallorcan estate. It’s world-famous, not least because of its label: every year, renowned Spanish artist Miquel Barceló creates a unique design for this wine. It represents the purest expression of the Callet grape. Son Negre is also the name of a small hamlet where Ànima Negra owns three of its finest vineyard plots, reserved exclusively for this cuvée. The wine is made from the estate’s oldest Callet vines, which yield as little as 500 grams per vine. The vineyards benefit from outstanding ventilation thanks to constant Mediterranean winds. The soils are extremely poor, mineral-rich, and very dry. Son Negre is only produced in exceptional vintages — years with true character. The two most recent are 2016 and 2022. A cult wine for collectors!
