Secateurs Red Blend

This red blend pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and Mediterranean cuisine. It also complements mildly spiced foods, making it versatile for different culinary contexts​.

The grapes are sourced from low-yielding bush vines grown on mountain slopes in the Swartland region of South Africa. The vines benefit from the region's Mediterranean climate and granite-rich soils, which contribute to the wine's distinctive flavor profile.

The grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentation occurs in open concrete tanks, followed by aging on the lees for seven months in a combination of concrete tanks, foudres, and old casks.

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.
