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 Secateurs Rosé 2023 has a pale salmon-pink color. On the nose, it offers bright and fresh aromas of red berries such as strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries, along with subtle floral notes of rose petals and hints of citrus zest. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with a crisp and refreshing acidity. Flavors of ripe red fruits, watermelon, and a touch of grapefruit are balanced by a clean minerality. The finish is dry, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of spice, making it a versatile and approachable rosé.
Food Pairing
This rosé is highly versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is an excellent match for light salads, grilled seafood such as prawns and calamari, and sushi. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine like tapas, antipasti, and fresh cheeses such as mozzarella and feta. Its bright acidity and fresh profile make it a great aperitif, perfect for casual outdoor dining and picnics.
