Aristargos David and Nadia ltd

The Aristargos from David & Nadia is an unusual cuvée from the Swartland — one of South Africa's most exciting white wine terroirs, far off the mainstream.

The couple David Sadie and Nadia Barnard cultivate old bush vines in the Swartland without irrigation. The vines fight their way through nutrient-poor slate soils, which results in concentrated grapes with distinct minerality. Vinification is artisanal: spontaneous fermentation, gentle aging, minimal intervention in the cellar.

In the glass, the Aristargos shows bright citrus fruit — grapefruit, bergamot — alongside spicy herbal notes and a clear line of salt on the finish, as is typical for the granite soils of the Swartland. The body is dense, the acidity taut and well-integrated. Not a heavy, opulent style — rather nervous, precise, with real depth.

The Winery

David & Nadia

In the heart of the picturesque Swartland in South Africa lies the enchanting winery of David & Nadia, a place where passion, tradition, and modern winemaking come together in perfect harmony.

Founded by the couple David and Nadia Sadie, this winery combines the rich viticultural history of the region with a deep understanding of the natural balance and purity of wine.

David, a child of the Swartland, and Nadia, both graduates of Stellenbosch University, brought their academic expertise in viticulture and soil science together to create wines that reflect the terroir of the Swartland.

Their shared journey began in 2009 with their marriage and the first wine in 2010. Since then, they have dedicated themselves entirely to their winery, which they operate on the idyllic Paardebosch farm. The wines of David & Nadia tell the story of the earth on which they grew and the hands that tended them. They work closely with local farmers who share their philosophy and source their grapes both from the Paardebosch farm and from other outstanding wine farms in the region. This close cooperation and respectful treatment of nature allow them to produce wines of incomparable quality. The "David & Nadia Range" and the "Single Vineyard Range" offer a spectrum of wines that express both the diversity and the depth of the Swartland. From the elegant Chenin Blancs to the characterful red wines like Grenache Noir and Elpidios, every sip reveals the careful manual labor and attention to detail that goes into every bottle. David & Nadia rely on minimal intervention in the wine cellar to preserve the natural aromas and structures of the grapes. This approach leads to wines that impress with their freshness, complexity, and longevity and capture the true essence of the Swartland. Let yourself be enchanted by the wines of David & Nadia and enjoy the artistry and rich history that resonates in every drop. Immerse yourself in the world of Swartland wines and experience the magic that arises when passion meets tradition.
