AA Badenhorst
AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 28ha of old bushvines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain. The property is owned by the baie dynamic and good looking cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst. They are originally from Constantia. Their grandfather was the farm manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. Their fathers were born there and farmed together in Constantia, during the days when people still ate fresh vegetables and Hanepoot grapes, drank Cinsault and there were a lot less traffic lights and hippies still had a presence. Together these two have restored a neglected cellar on the farm that was last used in the 1930′s to make natural wines in the traditional manner.
Description
THE CAPERITIF is a vermouth-styled aperitif - an aromatised fortified wine. The addition to a wine of numerous botanicals, fruits, alcohol, sugar and bitters inherently changes the nature of the wine. It becomes vermouth. Vermouth or in German ”Wermut” ( “wer” means man; “mut” means courage, spirit or English ‘wormwood’ ).
Food Pairing
Excellent enjoyed on its own or with baked quinces, almond biscotti and mascarpone cheese.
