Vinification
Grenache is one of the most planted red varietals globally and had a greater presence in the early 1900’s in South Africa. Recent indications are that that it is making a come-back and many new vineyards have been planted lately. The reality is that young Grenache tends to over-produce and in many respects its big previous downfall can be linked to this fact, but when a vineyard comes of age and/or is planted in a less forgiving site with reduced fruit load, it can compete with the most elegant and refined reds of the Mediterranean climate. They basically fill the concrete tanks whole cluster to about 60% and then 40 % destemmed 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 press the grapes in an old basket press.
After pressing the wine is transferred back into concrete, therefore the fermentation on the skins, pressing and the subsequent ageing all take place in 33Hl concrete tanks. The wine is left for 8 months on the lees and then racked to another concrete tank for an additional 4 months to clear.

Reviews
James Suckling (97/100)

Sliced strawberries, pomegranates, rose hips, orange rind and wet stones on the nose of this supremely elegant, fragrant red. Sour cherries, too. It’s medium-bodied, very fresh and silky, with very fine tannins, seamless but present. Persistent and salty at the end. Great expression of grenache. Fermented and aged in concrete.

Tim Atkin (96/100)

Citrusdal Mountain (13.5%) - Erasmus van Zyl's farm in Piekenierskloof, located on quartz and sandstone soils, supplies the grapes for this ethereal old-vine Grenache, described by Eben Sadie as "transparent". Fermented with 30% whole clusters, it has aromas of fresh earth and Campari spices, flavours of pomegranate and red cherry, remarkable freshness and some underlying tannic grip.

R. Parker (94/100)

This is the first wine poured in The Sadie Family portfolio tasting. The 2024 Citrusdal Mountain Die Distriksreeks Soldaat shows an earthy yet perfumed expression of Grenache with sour cherry, pomegranate and blue floral lift carried by sweet but firm tannins. Nervy and finely structured, the wine balances high-radiation ripeness with remarkable freshness from its site at 750 meters in elevation. Planted on quartz sandstone and mudstone in the Citrusdal Mountains, Soldaat demonstrates vintner Eben Sadie’s pursuit of Grenache grown in sites that deliver light without excessive heat. This was a complex vintage with not a lot of rain but less wind, which was positive. Aging sees 12 months in concrete tank only.

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".

Description

A new project from Pablo Calatayud. The "Ferrero & Senís" line is a tribute to 2 of his best collaborators since ages. With the wines from this line, he mainly wants to return to the forgotten grape varieties of the past, almost all of which had disappeared due to being too light and lacking in alcohol. These are mainly Arcos and Forcallà, which give light and elegant wines, paying homage to the Mediterranean light.

Gorgollassa had almost completely disappeared – this Majorcan grape variety is known for its very low yields. But Bárbara Mesquida Mora – always one to defy convention – decided to take a different approach. In 2014, she grafted a few Merlot vines from her Es Monjos vineyard with Gorgollassa; after several years of experimentation, she launched her first 100% Gorgollassa cuvée on the market in 2019.

The bunches are not de-stemmed and so they are vinified whole. Then they are left to macerate slowly, without adding any enzymes or yeasts. No pumping over and no treading during fermentation. This is the only way to obtain such a refined Priorat wine.
