Tasting Note

Brooding aromas of black cherries, pepper, liquorice and perfume. The palate is dense and layered, with notes of lavender and dark berry fruit. The finish is dry and savoury, supported by well-distributed tannins and lingering blackcurrant character.

About the Winery

A.A. Badenhorst

Situated in the heart of South Africa's stunning Swartland wine region, lies the impressive A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines winery. Privately nestled on the slopes of the Paardeberg Mountain, the winery boasts 28 hectares of old bush vines, basking under the prolific South African sun.

This extraordinary vineyard has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Today, it's lovingly nurtured by Adi Badenhorst and his cousin, Hein. The Badenhorst family purchased the estate in 2007, restoring the beautiful old Cape Dutch buildings, and rejuvenating the old vineyards back to glorious life.

The winemaking approach at A.A. Badenhorst is a blend of traditional and innovative, with wine-making methods being passed down through the Badenhorst generations to garner the perfect combinations, of both taste and aroma from the fruit of their vines.

Working tirelessly to create the finest South African wines, the Badenhorst's magic touch is evident in every bottle that leaves their winery.
