{"product_id":"sadie-family-swartland-pofadder-2024","title":"Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed after the venomous Puff Adder snake—a somber tribute to a vineyard worker lost in the 1940s—this wine is pure Cinsault from the Kasteelberg Mountain. Sourced from a single parcel planted in 1973 on slate and decomposed shale soils, it is a variety that Eben Sadie treats with immense respect. Often called the \"Pinot Noir of the Swartland,\" Cinsault has seen a massive revival in recent years, and Pofadder is right at the front of the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is notoriously tricky to farm, requiring rigorous sorting and careful handling to prevent oxidation, but when executed this well, it is revelatory. The winemaking is gentle—involving about 30% whole bunches, foot-stomping in open fermenters, and aging in old wooden casks. Eben notes that the tannins in the 2024 vintage are softer than usual, gifting us an exceptionally well-balanced and approachable young wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it is all about elegance and perfume. You get those haunting, schist-derived aromas that draw you in - think wild strawberry, rosehip, Turkish Delight, and a touch of rosemary and peppercorn. It is supremely fresh and silky, with a medium body and a racy, mineral-etched core. It captures that specific tension between fruit weight and mineral cut perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sadie Family","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45250610921581,"sku":"BIB25735-750","price":177.68,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":45269207973997,"sku":"BIB25735-750-6","price":1012.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/2024SadieFamilySwartlandPofadder.jpg?v=1780080272","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/sadie-family-swartland-pofadder-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
