Product info
The name means The Footpath in Dutch, and comes from the name of Dirk Brand’s wheat and rooibos tea farm, where the rustic block of old vines is tucked away. This is surely the most isolated old vineyard in the country, presumably originally planted to supply the farmer and his neighbours. Its 1.4 hectares host varieties established in the Cape since the early days of European settlement, with most of the planting done between 1887 – 1928, and all of the vines grow on their own roots .
The vineyard’s survival without irrigation is also extraordinary in this hot valley in the north of the huge Swartland region, near the village of Aurora and Elands Bay on the coast. Its precise location has allowed it to survive, with an underground river flowing beneath it from the mountains
Vinification
Voetpad is a field blend of all the varieties - they are picked together in one morning. The grapes are picked and placed overnight in a cool room and pressed whole bunch the following day. The juice is then transferred to an old foudre where it is left undisturbed until natural fermentation starts.
The wine is left in casks and foudre for the entire first 12 months on the fermentation lees and we bottle from the lees. Two weeks prior to bottling we transfer the wine to a blending tank and add around 60 mg/litre of sulphur for protection during bottling. The wine normally settles to perfect clarity and can then be bottled unfiltered.

Reviews
James Suckling (97/100)

Chamomile, thyme, grapefruit rind, mangoes and vanilla beans on the nose of this waxy, very textural white. It’s full-bodied, creamy and enveloping. Delicious finish. Semillon blanc, palomino, chenin blanc and some muscat d’alexandrie. From a co-planted vineyard established in 1887.

R. Parker (96/100)

The Sadie Family 2024 Swartland Die Distriksreeks 'T Voetpad is a profoundly characterful old-vine field blend of Chenin Blanc, Semillon Blanc, Semillon Gris and Palomino that delivers savory depth, hay-like nuance and remarkable persistence. Despite its white-wine framing, the wine carries the extract and structural presence of a red wine, finishing long and textural. Planted in 1887 on the Piketberg mountains and still farmed as a true co-planted vineyard, this 1.4-hectare site remains one of the oldest producing vineyards in the Swartland. This is an absolute "unicorn wine" from South Africa.

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".

One of Spain's best Chardonnays! The pride of Augustus. The ageing in oak is not so long as it used to be. The barrels are heavily toasted, and so is the wine - not to be confused with oaky notes. This leaves room for very seductive fruity notes.

Albert Jané's dream was to produce a white wine which would equal it best red cuvée, on the same terroir: his Auditori vineyard. The dream has now come true. Made with old vine Grenache blanc, with a little Pansal and Macabeu (old vines too), it epitomises the greatness of its Montsant terroir. A powerful and very Mediterranean white, in the style of the best white Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Voladeros is the first Mountain Wine produced in Málaga since the 19th century, when this type of wine from PX grapes made in the hills surrounding the city of Málaga were amongst the most sought-after in Europe. With a lot of patience, Victoria looked for the old parcels where the PX still grows so as to save them. And not only did she make it, but she also made a great wine with them.

Coma Calcari is the former Coma Alta that had its name thanks to a higher plot of Viognier that was part of the Coma Alta assemblage until 2013. Coma Calcari is a single vineyard: La Feixa... white Grenache located in a lower zone of the Coma Valley. The vineyard is divided into 2 zones for both viticulture and harvesting. The wine's name refers to the terroir which is mainly chalk with some clay. A style that shows the sensitive side of Grenache. Its terroir and location give the wine extra energy, extra acidity and extra finesse! An average of 4000 bottles are made of this stylish white Grenache.

Description

This is without a doubt the most powerful white Spanish wine in our range. A true flavour bomb, full of character and individuality. From the very beginning, the estate has placed great importance on crafting a top-tier white wine – and they have succeeded brilliantly. Total production ranges between 1,500 and 3,000 bottles, depending on the vintage. It is clear that this level of quality is the result of vieilles vignes and the extremely low yields from these vineyards. This Spanish wine is not vinified every year.
