TIM ATKIN 96 POINTS - "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. 2026-32."
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "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. Drink 2026-2038. (02/22/22)."
