AA 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.

This single vineyard was planted in 1952 on decomposed granite soils. The vineyard has southeast exposition and is 0.86 ha in extent. The grapes are sorted meticulously in the vineyard and transported in small picking boxes to a refrigerated room where they are left overnight to cool. The bunches are destemmed and fermented in a conical concrete tank while being pumped over once daily. When fermentation is almost completed, the vat is pressed and the must is moved to 500L vats for 12 months. This wine was racked just before bottling without any filtration.

"Pretty aromas of sliced strawberries, grated nutmeg, moss and walnut. Medium-bodied with supple tannins that run the length of the wine. Perfumed and floral on the palate with subtle red fruit concentration. Textural and delicate. From vines planted in 1952. Sustainable. Drink or hold. 93 points."
