Skerpioen (Afrikaans for “scorpion”) is a singular white wine from The Sadie Family’s windswept, old-vine vineyard in Swartland, just 2 km from the Atlantic coast. This field blend of Chenin Blanc and Palomino thrives on limestone-rich, chalky soils under harsh, salty sea breezes.
A taut, sea-sprayed blend of Chenin Blanc and Palomino, Sadie Family Skerpioen delivers piercing citrus, salty minerality, and pure coastal energy in every sip.
