Founded by visionary winemaker Eben Sadie, Sadie Family Wines is a leading South African estate built on the philosophy that winemaking begins with responsible agriculture and a deep relationship with the land. Based in the Swartland, the domaine is committed to farming practices that prioritize long-term environmental stewardship, sustainability, and respect for terroir.

The estate farms approximately 51 hectares, including 24 hectares of its own vineyards alongside additional parcels cultivated by the Sadie team. Yields are intentionally kept low to ensure concentration and quality. Guided by the belief that great wine emerges from a close relationship between soil, climate, vines, and people, Sadie Family Wines has earned international recognition for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines that capture the character of South Africa’s vineyards while maintaining a strong commitment to responsible farming and environmental stewardship.

Nestled alongside an old railway line that gives it its name, the Treinspoor Vineyard is planted with old bush vines of Tinta Barocca (locally Tinta das Baroccas). The low-trained vines form a natural canopy, shielding the delicate bunches from the intense Swartland sun. Deeply rooted in the region, this variety is celebrated for its remarkable ability to express the soil and convey a true sense of terroir.

The 2024 vintage opens with darker notes of graphite and dried fig, evolving into lifted aromas of violets, floral perfume, and pencil lead. The palate is structured and powerful, with dense, multi-layered tannins and a firm, persistent finish. Deeply concentrated and tightly knit, the wine carries impressive intensity and length, and will benefit from patient cellaring to reveal its full complexity.
