The Sadie Family Citrusdal Mountain Old Vine Series Kokerboom 2024

The Sadie Family Citrusdal Mountain Old Vine Series Kokerboom 2024 is a deeply expressive white wine from one of South Africa’s most respected names. Made from old-vine Semillon Blanc and Semillon Gris, it combines precision, texture, and a quiet intensity that makes it stand out in the world of premium South African whites. With its roots in the Western Cape’s historic vineyards, it carries both heritage and modern finesse in equal measure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Kokerboom 2024 shows a poised, luminous presence typical of finely crafted white wines, with a refined, understated color rather than overt richness. The nose opens with yellow plum, lanolin, and a subtle thread of orange blossom, giving it a layered but elegant aromatic profile. On the palate, it is smooth and textural, with a slightly waxy feel, notes of Japanese daikon, spice, and yellow fruit, and a distinctly linear, controlled finish. This is a cerebral wine with impressive structure and balance, and it has the concentration and composure to evolve beautifully over the next two decades.

Production
Kokerboom comes from the Citrusdal Mountain area in the Western Cape, where old vines benefit from a warm yet elevated terroir that encourages concentration while preserving freshness. The blend of Semillon Blanc and Semillon Gris reflects the site’s ability to produce wines with both depth and tension, and The Sadie Family is known for working with meticulous care in the vineyard to preserve the individuality of each parcel. Vinification is handled with a restrained, minimal-intervention philosophy that allows the character of the fruit and place to speak clearly.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its texture and savory complexity, such as roast chicken, turbot, lobster, veal, or rich vegetable dishes with fennel, root vegetables, or miso-based sauces. It will also shine with aged cheeses and refined seafood preparations. Serve chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting if you want to open up its aromatic detail and layered palate.

Producer
The Sadie Family, founded by Eben Sadie, is one of South Africa’s most acclaimed producers and a leading voice in the country’s fine wine renaissance.
