David & Nadia

David and Nadia Sadie farm 16 hectares of Swartland old vines so low-yielding that most people would have given up on them years ago. It's a lot of work for little volume, but it's worth it. These are wines with real character - living wines with freshness, salinity, and a genuine sense of where they're from.

David and Nadia met at university, married in 2009, and spent years building the project around day jobs before going full-time. Home is Paardebosch, the farm and cellar they lease, where those old vines supply about half of what they need. The rest comes from growers they trust, farmed as close to organically as possible.

Winemaking is simple and traditional. Everything is fermented with wild yeasts and aged in concrete and neutral French oak. The result is pure old vine complexity, and a salinity that runs through the range.

From a side project built around day jobs, David & Nadia now sit alongside South Africa's very best.
