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
"A somewhat shy nose with subtle notes of strawberry, cranberry, fynbos and spice. The palate is light-bodied and fresh with powdery tannins. It’s an understated wine that it is currently quite difficult to assess – there’s something compelling about the relationship between fruit, acidity and tannins that suggests this wine will flourish with time." CE
Food Pairing
Pairs very well with local venison complimented with elements of bacon, cloves and a stewed fruit chutney.
