Description

"The A. A. Badenhorst Family Wines 2021 Swartland Kalmoesfontein Red Blend is 58% Shiraz, 14% Cinsault, 14% Tinta Barocca, 9% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache. The wine reveals a unique bouquet with elements of balsam herb, cola, licorice and barbecue spice. There is a dusting of white pepper that adds a lifted or buoyant quality to the aromas. But at the center of it all is a dark core of black and purple fruits. It continues to the palate with medium richness and polished tannins. This is a release of 10,000 bottles. Drink to 2035."
94 points. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate (June 2025)

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.
