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 Ramnasgras Cinsault 2022 displays an expressive nose with notes of rose petals, subtle minerality, and red fruits like cherry and plum. The palate offers more of these red fruits along with hints of bramble, complemented by savory tannins. The wine has an energetic structure with fine, Nebbiolo-like tannins and a fresh, long finish.
Food Pairing
Seafood paella, Indian curry.
