Planted in 1984 in a vineyard with double rows. David started here in 2017, but 2021 was the first release. This is out towards the ocean, and produces intense, powerful wines. Lots of phenolics, energy, and hints of blood orange.

As vineyards go, Rondevlei sounds relatively unexciting - it's a flat, 1.7-hectare parcel on red sand, but the wine it produces is thrilling. Made with five different components, it’s what David Sadie calls a "salt-driven" Chenin Blanc, with a noticeably maritime influence. Sappy and slightly ferrous, it has notes of kelp and citrus and a focused, tangy, engaging finish. 2024-29
One of those wines that makes you want to burst into joyful song, Plat'bos hails from a 3.8-hectare vineyard planted in 1981 on decomposed granite and produces 1,400 bottles for the whole world. Early picked in a warmer, north-west facing site, this is counter-intuitively fresh and chiselled, shimmering with minerality, freshness, energy and drive. Mouthwateringly intense
