Eben Sadie Columella 2018 is a red blend primarily composed of Syrah and Mourvèdre from the Swartland region of South Africa. This wine reflects the distinctive terroir of the region, characterised by craggy granite and schist soils that contribute to its distinct structure. The nose reveals dark fruit aromas underpinned by a herbal complexity often attributed to the region`s warm climate. On the palate, it exhibits a full body with layered tannins and a refreshing acidity, suggesting further maturation potential. Eben Sadie, a pioneer in South African winemaking, emphasises minimal intervention, enhancing the wine`s natural expression. This double magnum bottle is best enjoyed after 2026, it can evolve until 2040.
