Badenhorst Papegaai Red Swartland 2021

Description

Adi Badenhorst has been described as many things, but near the top of the list is always farmer, winemaker and parrot breeder. The 2021 Papegaai dry red (for lack of a better classification) brings together those three things in one story and one bottle.

The grapes come from both Adi's farm and his neighbour’s excellent fruit. Most vines are mountain-sloped bush vines. We maintain that high-quality fruit comes from old un-irrigated bush vines grown on a variety of granite soils that are naturally low yielding. The wine is mainly from the Cinsault variety, along with a little bit of everything else grown on the farm.
