Sadie Family, Pofadder other_regions The harvest began October 10The 2023 Pofadder, 100% Cinsault planted in schist, has a floral bouquet, white flowers, rose petals, bright wild strawberry and cranberry, with a little more mineralit than the Soldaat. The palate is medium bodied with crunchy red fruit. Its perhaps the most tensile of any Pofadder Ive tasted, culminating in a linear finish with life affirming frisson. There is an effortless brilliance about this Pofaddereven better than last year's offering.
