Tasting Notes
This 2023 Curator is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Pinotage, taking fruit from the Swartland and surrounding areas. With majority of the blend being Cab we see a firm and expressive display of wonderful red fruit, but it also provides a needed framework. While the Pinotage swoops in and provides a calming weighted blanket for those grippy tannins, this allowing the wine to be fuller bodied but yet very easy to drink... a little winner!
More Info
We firmly believe that Adi Badenhorst is 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!
