    2020 Sadie Family Wines "Columella" Red Blend (Swartland, SA) 6R

    6R

    Warmer growing regions, fully ripened grapes, extended barrel-aging add to the wine’s body

    2020 Sadie Family Wines "Columella" Red Blend (Swartland, SA) 6R

    This is THE ONE. Syrah dominant and perfectly rounded out with Grenache, Mourvédre, and Cinsault, the Columella evokes all the finest elements of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but without the dense, tooth-staining extraction and sky-high alcohol. Instead, you have a wine of superior elegance and arresting complexity. Exuberant blue and purple floral notes, black pepper and spice, and bright red and black fruit erupt from the bottle as soon as you open it. Ultra fine tannins, and racy acidity keep the finish going forever. Decant, and enjoy with lamb, roast duck, or other delicate game meats.

    About The Varietal

    Grenache

    Grenache, also known as Garnacha, is a red wine grape variety extensively cultivated in France, Spain, Australia, and the United States. Its remarkable versatility, both in the vineyard and during the winemaking process, might be the reason for its widespread presence as one of the most widely planted grape varieties across the globe.
