David & Nadia - Topography Red 2021
David & Nadia Estate is located on Paardebosch Farm in the Swartland region of South Africa . The estate was established by husband and wife team David and Nadia Sadie , both qualified in viticulture and oenology. They produced their first vintage in 2010. while they were still working for their former employers. In 2013, David resigned and Nadia joined him in 2016 to devote herself entirely to their vineyard. About half of the grapes they work with come from the Paardebosch farm where the winery is based, and the rest comes from other farms, all located in the Swartland. They carry out three projects: the David & Nadia cuvées (grapes used throughout the Swartland representing its soils, vineyards and people), the Topography cuvées (only grapes from grapes grown in the Siebritskloof of Paardeberg where they are based) and the Skaliekop and Hoë-Steen single-plot cuvées . They have a minimal intervention and organic farming approach in both the vineyard and the winery. They have quickly become one of the leading wine producers in the Swartland , and considered among the most exciting in South Africa .
