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."
