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 AA Badenhorst Secateurs Red Blend 2024 is characterized by its vibrant and aromatic profile. The wine offers perfumed notes of ripe red fruits such as blackberry and raspberry, along with spice and hints of pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, it presents a smooth texture with a supple entry and a lively freshness that leads to a dry, refreshing finish. This vintage continues the style of previous releases, focusing on accessibility and enjoyment while maintaining complexity.
Food Pairing
The Secateurs Red Blend pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and Mediterranean cuisine. Its balance of fruit and spice also makes it a good match for mildly spiced dishes and hearty stews.
