Product Description
Certified biodynamic and organic, Sadie Family's Columella sources old-vine Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, and Tinta Barocca from south Africa's Swartland. Fermented in open concrete tanks, aged 12 months in 5% new French oak, then 12 months in large foudre — unfined and unfiltered.
- Nose: Black cherry, plum, sandalwood, sage, and violet — polished and hauntingly complex
- Palate: Sleek and layered — pomegranate, fynbos, dark spice, and seamlessly integrated tannins
- Finish: Long and mineral — fruit, spice, and florals linger with exceptional finesse
