David & Nadia Siebritskloof Pinotage is a bold and well-structured red wine. This single-vineyard Pinotage has been hand-selected and sourced from the Swartland region in South Africa. On the nose, it exhibits aromas of red and black fruit, along with subtle hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is full-bodied with a good balance of acidity and tannins, resulting in a wine that is both smooth and robust. The finish is lingering and complex, leaving an impression of dark fruit and subdued oak. This wine is best paired with heartier dishes, such as grilled meats and stews, and is best enjoyed with a group of wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

An early picked, dry-farmed Pinotage that is changing the hearts and minds of the many Pinotage detractors. From the higher vines of the Paardeberg, cold-soaked and partially destemmed but with the inclusion of whole berries in the fermenters to encourage a semi-carbonic effect, which brings freshness, just one punch down a day and bottled after a year of aging. Forest fruit and dark plums are the main descriptors here, with a herbal earthy edge but also transparency. The tannins are drier than the other wines, a consequence of Pinotage’s thicker skins, but yet this is a bright and juicy wine that is one of the flagship examples in the “new wave” movement.

About the Winery

The venture and establishment of David & Nadia began with the love and marriage between David and Nadia Sadie. Born and raised in Swartland, David studied oenology and viticulture. He did so at the University of Stellenbosch. It was during his time here that he met Nadia and fell in love with her. She was already a qualified viticulturist and soil scientist by then. The couple tied a permanent connection between them through matrimony in 2009 and started their unique Swartland label.

David and Nadia produced their first wine in 2010. In 2013, David resigned from his previous job and began to focus on their winery. In 2016, Nadia joined him in the operations and management of David & Nadia permanently. Since its establishment, the winery has managed to gain significant reputation and fame worldwide. They are famous for producing exceptionally high-quality varietal vintages. They also distribute the sought-after blends of Elpidios and Aristargos. All the wines that David & Nadia make serve to represent their terroir, vineyards, soil and the people and workers of the region. In other words, the winery and its products represent a steady and slow romance about the land that transformed into an authentic and real-life love story. Even to this day, it continues to inspire and motivate their craft.

David & Nadia believes that wine is entirely about its purity, freshness, and natural balance that it maintains with the environment. They deem it the primary factor that can ensure that the quality of the vineyards and soil get rightfully expressed into the drinks. For that reason, the winery focuses on the different types and kinds of soil. They also assess the mountain terrain and climatic conditions with scrutiny. Overall, they ensure minimal intervention and interference of the workers in the vineyards and the cellar.
