The Story

Columella is the Sadie Family’s flagship red blend, named after the Roman agronomist who wrote on viticulture. Crafted from old bush vines in Swartland’s granitic and slate-rich soils, the 2022 vintage blends Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsaut, and Tinta Barocca. Meticulous hand-sorting, wild fermentations, basket pressing, and aging over two years in barrel and foudre shape a wine of elegance, energy, and depth. With its lowest-ever alcohol and fine tannin structure, this is a profound, terroir-driven red built to evolve for decades.
