South Africa’s most celebrated white blend — complex, age-worthy, and profoundly expressive.
Sadie Family’s Palladius 2023 is a masterful blend of old-vine white varieties sourced from some of the Swartland’s most treasured sites, delivering breath-taking purity and depth. Aromas of quince, pear skin, fennel, chamomile and crushed stones unfold with quiet confidence, supported by a vibrant, finely etched palate that balances texture, tension and remarkable length. Layers of citrus oil, gentle spice and saline minerality evolve with every sip, showcasing the precision and restraint that define Eben Sadie’s work. A wine of poise, harmony and quiet power, Palladius 2023 is built for graceful ageing yet already offers extraordinary complexity. One of South Africa’s most sought-after white blends, produced in limited quantities and a benchmark for world-class craftsmanship.
