AA Badenhorst Family Wines estate is situated in South Africa's Swartland appellation, spanning 180 hectares of old bushvines on the Paardeberg Mountain.
We firmly believe they are one of the most exciting producers in the region - crafting exciting and complex wines from a vast range of varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Syrah and Grenache.
Owned by cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst, they revived a neglected 1930s cellar for traditional winemaking. The vineyards boast mainly old vines, originating from 1950s-60s. These include Chenin Blanc, Cinsault, and Grenache bushvines, cultivated without irrigation in a biologically friendly manner.
Grapes undergo whole bunch handling, whites fermenting in old casks or concrete tanks, while reds ferment in concrete tanks and open wooden kuipe with a lengthy post-fermentation maceration of up to 4 months prior to being transferred to casks or 4000 litre foudres.
Minimal intervention is a hallmark, with only a little sulphur added before and after fermentation.
