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 2021 vintage of AA Badenhorst Papegaai Red is a light, refreshing red blend that offers vibrant aromas of cranberry, raspberry, and floral notes, along with herbal hints and a touch of white pepper. The palate is fresh with flavors of red berries and a subtle spiciness, balanced by a lively acidity and a dry, moderately tannic finish. This wine is designed to be easy-drinking, making it an appealing choice for casual consumption.
Food Pairing
The Papegaai Red is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, lighter pasta dishes, and even slightly chilled for summer picnics. Its light body and fresh profile make it a suitable pairing for a wide range of foods.
