Description

The single vineyard was planted in 1966 on a rough, exposed granite outcrop. The 0.6ha yields around 1200L of juice. The name Klip Kop (“Rock Head”) is the original name of the site and refers to the granite rocks on this hill.

The juice always takes a long time to ferment and the resulting wine has a wonderful minerality to it. Obviously textured and deep in flavour because of the low yields and age of the vines. It has a complex flinty aromatic profile and good ageing potential

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.
