Tasting Notes
This is a great little site of tiny bushvines in deep decomposed granite soils right by the cellar. Tiny vines! Neal Martin of Vinous.com says. “The 2022 Kelder Steen comes from the vineyard adjacent to the winery that tends to produce larger bunches. It has a lovely, slightly more exotic bouquet of Clementine, apricot, marmalade, and a touch of underlying beeswax. The palate is medium-bodied with a waxy texture and fine acidity. A more fruit-forward Chenin but with admirable tension on the finish.”

We believe that Adi Badenhorst is one of the most exciting winemaker in South Africa. He is also the most frustrating. His laid back, self-deprecating, playful manner keeps you guessing and makes you wonder whether he has any idea what he is actually doing, whether he just chucks some grapes into a vat and hopes for the best, but we know full well that there is a huge amount of expertise that goes on behind closed doors, when no one is around to witness his skill and diligence ...and spoil his reputation!
