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 2024 vintage of Papegaai Red offers a light, refreshing profile with vibrant aromas of cranberry, raspberry, floral notes, herbal hints, and a touch of white pepper. On the palate, it presents flavors of red berries and subtle spiciness, balanced by lively acidity and a dry, moderately tannic finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with dishes such as peri-peri chicken, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, and game meats like venison. Its light body and vibrant acidity also complement vegetarian dishes and charcuterie boards.
