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 2022 Kalmoesfontein White Blend presents a tightly wound bouquet that demands coaxing, revealing aromas of melted candle wax, white flowers, and a subtle Muscat note. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity, palpable energy, and poise, culminating in a refined, pithy, orange-rind-tinged finish.
Food Pairing
The warm, earthy notes of this wine pair beautifully with tomato-based casseroles or a rich cheese fondue.
