From the rugged, windswept vineyards of the Skurfberg, Sadie Family Wines’ 2023 Skurfberg is a remarkable expression of Chenin Blanc, crafted to reflect the unique terroir of this remote region in the Western Cape. Known for its high-altitude vineyards and harsh growing conditions, the Skurfberg produces wines with exceptional minerality, freshness, and complexity.
The 2023 vintage opens with aromas of zesty citrus—lemon, lime—along with green apple, white flowers, and a subtle herbal note. On the palate, the wine is bright and lively, with crisp acidity that lifts the fruit and enhances its freshness. The wine’s minerality is pronounced, adding depth and a distinctive earthy character that speaks to the Skurfberg’s rocky soils. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a touch of wet stone.
Ideal for pairing with seafood, fresh salads, or roasted chicken, this Chenin Blanc is a versatile and elegant choice for a variety of dishes. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a few years, Sadie Family Wines’ Skurfberg 2023 offers a beautifully crafted, terroir-driven expression of South African Chenin Blanc, showcasing the purity and complexity of this remarkable region.
