The Sadie Family Swartland Old Vine Series 'T Voetpad 2024

The Sadie Family’s Swartland Old Vine Series 'T Voetpad 2024 is a striking Chenin Blanc from one of South Africa’s most celebrated producers. Named for a place “that used to have a path,” this bottling captures the quiet power of old vines and the precision that has made The Sadie Family a reference point for expressive Swartland wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a refined, luminous profile, with aromas of yellow plum, lanolin, and a delicate hint of orange blossom in the background. On the palate, it is smooth and textural, with a subtle waxy quality, notes of Japanese daikon, spice, and ripe yellow fruit. The finish is linear, controlled, and deeply thoughtful, giving the wine a cerebral character rather than overt richness. Built for the long haul, it has the structure and nuance to evolve beautifully over the next two decades.

Production
T' Voetpad comes from the Swartland in Western Cape, where old-vine Chenin Blanc thrives in a warm, rugged landscape shaped by dry conditions and poor soils. The site’s character is reflected in the wine’s restraint and clarity, with careful harvesting and sensitive vinification preserving freshness, texture, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile but quietly sophisticated white wine, ideal with roast chicken, turkey, grilled fish, shellfish, or dishes with fennel, miso, or subtle spice. Serve chilled, around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if desired to allow the aromatics and texture to open gently.

Producer
The Sadie Family is one of South Africa’s most influential wineries, founded by Eben Sadie and widely regarded as a leader in contemporary Swartland winemaking. The estate has earned international acclaim for its old-vine wines, meticulous site selection, and commitment to expressing South African terroir at the highest level.
