The Sadie Family Palladius 2022 1.5Lt
R2,450.00
Each bottle individually packed in branded wooden box.
Over the past 5 years Palladius has been the wine that grew the most in quality and refinement and much of this has to do with the addition of more vineyards and the improvement of their viticulture. Currently of all the wines, Palladius, with 17 vineyards, obviously represents the biggest canvas of the Swartland.
14 vineyards on Paardeberg, 1 in Piketberg and 2 near St Helena Bay
Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Viognier, Verdelho, Roussanne, Marsanne, Semillon Gris, Semillon Blanc & Palomini, Colombard.
The 2022 starts by almost playing hide-and-seek; the wine is more reserved and holding back. And only after warming up and a couple of minutes in the glass does the conversation start. The aromas are that of green apple and citrus flint, and then some of the stone fruit aromas begin to shine through. The wine needs time. The palate is already balanced, and the acidity is met by very firm tannins. The aftertaste is lingering. This bottling is a great vintage to follow the 2021. It is a strong contender for the most restrained version, but we must taste 2021 and 2022 with some age to have a final verdict. As always, it is suggested to age the wine for a minimum of 4-6 years.

Description
Eben’s notes at the time of release in 2024
After having had one of the wettest winters in many decades, we have just lived through one of the driest summer patches in the Swartland ever recorded. It has practically not rained here for the past six months, but we hope these adverse and extreme climatic patterns will end. Last year was arguably our busiest year ever, and the main agenda items were the energy crisis, the construction of the new cellar and a new water purification plant, and all of the roadworks and civils.
