750ml

Sale price$23.50

Located in Swartland, beside a dry riverbed near Paardesberg, the vineyard is home to Chenin Blanc vines that were planted in 1972. This white wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier, which were hand harvested and co-fermented on the skins. A pale yellow in the glass, this wine offers aromas of tree fruit, grapefruit, and slight spice. While the palate is full of refreshing and juicy notes of quince, citrus, minerality, and a savory finish. A fantastic beach day wine or paired alongside grilled fish, spaghetti squash, poultry, and salads with goat cheese.

A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines

Adi Badenhorst grew up among the vineyards of Groot Constantia, where his grandfather served as general manager for 46 years. As a child, Adi spent his days picking (and occasionally stealing) grapes and made his first wine at the age of thirteen, with renowned winemaker Jean Daneel. Adi studied at Elsenburg, then went to work harvest at Chateau Angelus & Alain Graillot in France, Wither Hills in NZ and locally at Simonsig, Steenberg & Groote Post. He spent nine years as winemaker at the esteemed Stellenbosch estate, Rustenberg.

In 2008, Adi and his cousin Hein bought a 148 acre (60 ha) piece of land in the Swartland appellation, and A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines was born. Since its inception, the cousins have remained committed to the tenets of the family estate: to practice biological farming and make natural wines in the traditional manner. Over time they have acquired more vineyards and today farm 395 acres (160 ha).
