Tasting Notes

The 16th release of Adi's signature red! They're particularly pleased with the quality of the 2021 - both the proportions in the blend, but also how well the different vineyards express themselves. From winemaker Adi: The aromas are brooding but with complex notes of pepper, liquorice, perfume, and black cherries. The palate entry is quite dense with lavender and dark berry fruit. The finish is dry with well spread tannins ending with savoury and black currant flavours. Shiraz 58%, Cinsault 14%, Tinta Barocca 14%, Mourvèdre 9%, Grenache Noir 5%.

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!

FROM THE PRESS

“The A. A. Badenhorst Family Wines 2021 Swartland Kalmoesfontein Red Blend is 58% Shiraz, 14% Cinsault, 14% Tinta Barocca, 9% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache. The wine reveals a unique bouquet with elements of balsam herb, cola, licorice and barbecue spice. There is a dusting of white pepper that adds a lifted or buoyant quality to the aromas. But at the center of it all is a dark core of black and purple fruits. It continues to the palate with medium richness and polished tannins. This is a release of 10,000 bottles.”
94pts, Monica Larner, Parker's Wine Advocate
