Description

A Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 180ha of old bush vines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain.

The single vineyard was planted in 1978 on a rough, exposed granite outcrop. The name Klip Kop ("Rock Head") is the original name of the site and refers to the granite rocks on this hill.

This Chenin Blanc pulls you in with aromas of lemongrass, thyme, papaya, white pepper and hints of blood oranges. Medium to full body and textural, displaying a very fine tannin texture that marries beautifully with the exotic fruit and piquant spice. At the end, simply delicious. Single vineyard planted in 1978. Drink or hold."

AA Badenhorst

AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. The property is owned by the “dynamic and good-looking cousins” Hein and Adi Badenhorst. Their fathers were born and farmed together in Constantia. The cousins have restored a neglected cellar on the farm that was last used in the 1930′s. They now proudly farm together, practice biological farming and make natural wines in the traditional manner.

Swartland

Swartland, located in South Africa's Western Cape, is a dynamic wine region celebrated for its robust and distinctive wines. Its Mediterranean climate, marked by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, combined with its varied soil types, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The area is renowned for its powerful reds, particularly from Syrah and Grenache, which exhibit bold fruit flavours, spice, and a characteristic earthiness. It also excels in producing expressive Chenin Blancs, known for their richness, complexity, and vibrant acidity.
