Sadie Family Sonvang is a beautifully expressive Swartland red blend that captures the purity and energy of old-vine fruit grown on some of the region’s most characterful sites. Aromas of red cherry, pomegranate and crushed cranberry are layered with hints of dried herbs, rose petal and warm, subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, showing Eben Sadie’s hallmark restraint: supple tannins, bright acidity and a long, graceful finish that unfolds with mineral clarity and gentle savoury depth. Both immediately charming and quietly complex, Sonvang is crafted in small quantities and offers a distinctive, soulful glimpse into the Swartland’s red terroir. Produced in limited quantities and praised by leading critics, including 95 points from Tim Atkin.
