A library release recently received into our cellars direct from Badenhorst.

‘Made from possibly the oldest registered vineyard of this varietal in the Cape on Adi’s Kalmoesfontein farm and the 2015 is only his second release of this single vineyard old vine red.Where Adis version differs from many of the others on the market, is the level of minerality, tannin and structure he illicits from his old vine fruit while managing to retain a modest alcohol of only 12.5 Abv. Quantities produced are tiny, so if you manage to track this one down, snap it up and pop it in your cellar.’ Greg Sherwood MW

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!
