Product information "Sadie Family Mev. Kirsten 2018"
The Sadie Family Mev Kirsten is a Chenin Blanc grape variety and a unique expression of this grape variety. With brilliant clarity and idiosyncratic depth, it is intense, firm and complex with hazelnut and brioche notes, chamomile or even grapefruit and quince jelly. A quiet, serious wine with a brilliant, filigree acid structure. An absolute masterpiece of wine craftsmanship!
The Sadie Family Mev Kirsten (named after vineyard owner Mrs Kirsten in Stellenbosch) comes from South Africa's oldest Chenin Blanc vineyard, planted in 1905. Only 80 boxes of this rarity were produced. The entire production took place in clay amphorae, as winemaker Eben Sadie prefers neutral vessels in the vinification process.

The entire production of the Sadie Family Mev Kirsten took place in clay amphorae, as winemaker Eben Sadie prefers neutral vessels in the wine aging process. The wine has been vinified slightly differently from the other white wines of the winery, with initial carbonic maceration followed by fermentation. The wine matured for 12 months in used barrels and was bottled in an unflavoured and unfirrtated state.
