About the Winery

David & Nadia is a family-owned project established in 2010 by husband-and-wife team David and Nadia Sadie in the Swartland region. David, a Swartland native, and Nadia, a qualified soil scientist and viticulturist, joined forces to craft wines that are a genuine reflection of their land. They are considered among the "young guns" of the South African wine revolution, shifting away from bold, oak-driven styles toward elegance, freshness, and minerality. Their philosophy is rooted in biological farming and minimal intervention in the cellar, utilizing only indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfur. Based in a restored 220-year-old cellar on the Paardebosch farm, they produce highly sought-after ranges including the iconic Aristargos white blend, the Elpidios red blend, and prestigious single-vineyard selections. David & Nadia are also dedicated members of the Old Vine Project, focusing on preserving and showcasing South Africa’s heritage vineyards older than 35 years.

Terroir

The David & Nadia terroir is defined by the diverse soils of the Swartland, particularly around the Paardeberg mountain. They focus on organically farmed, dry-land bush vines that must struggle in the harsh environment. The core of their winemaking lies in exploring different soil types: from the decomposed granite of Paardeberg, which imparts flinty freshness and texture, to the shale and iron-rich clays found elsewhere in the region, adding structure and depth. This mosaic approach allows them to blend fruit from various microclimates and altitudes, a technique most evident in their Chenin Blanc and Grenache Noir. By combining deep-rooted old vines with poor granite soils, they achieve remarkable flavor concentration while maintaining lower alcohol levels and vibrant natural acidity.
