2025 Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc

£16.95

AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 180ha of old bushvines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain.

The property is owned by cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst. They are originally from Constantia. Their grandfather was the farm manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. Their fathers were born there and farmed together in Constantia also.

Old Chenin vines pruned and harvested by hand and fermented with wild yeasts. Plenty of lees contact though no new wood. Full of texture and character. Truly a wine for all occasions made by the funky Adi Badenhorst.

Tasting Note: Aromas and flavours of peaches, apples, honey, flint and orange blossom. A small proportion of the wine is fermented in oak adding to the silky texture of this wines.

Blend: Chenin Blanc

Andre Adriaan Badenhorst grew up between the vineyards of Constantia and spent his time picking (stealing) grapes. “It all started when Jean Daneel, then winemaker at Buitenverwachting, let me make my first wine when I was thirteen,” Adi recalls.

After completing his studies at Elsenburg, Adi worked a few harvests at Chateau Angelus, Alain Graillot in the north Rhone, France and Wither Hills in New Zealand and did stints at local cellars Simonsig, Steenberg, Groote Post and nine years as winemaker at the esteemed Stellenbosch estate, Rustenberg.

In 2008 he packed it all in and bought a 60-hectare piece of land in the Paardeberg with his cousin Hein. They now proudly farm together, practice biological farming and make natural wines in the traditional manner.
