A. A. Badenhorst

Adi Badenhorst has long been at the centre of South Africa's new wave wine revolution. If anyone deserves the bulk of the credit for jump-starting the country's reputation on the world stage it is him. Based in the dry, hot vineyards of Swartland due north of Stellenbosch, he has spearheaded a movement of boutique wines made in the most traditional ways possible. His wines are remarkably refined and elegant given their origins and accordingly they have captured a legion of admirers around the world.

A. A. Badenhorst Ramnasgras Cinsault 2017 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £234.47
2017	A. A. Badenhorst Ramnasgras Cinsault 2017 (6x75cl) Decanter (95) An utterly delicious Cinsault from Swartland pioneer and champion of the Cinsault revival in South Africa, Andre Adrian (Adi) Badenhorst. The Ramnasgras comes from a small vineyard on the estate, planted in the mid 50’s, and is the product of meticulous hand selection, fermentation in ‘dodgy old wooden vats’ and maturation in ‘less dodgy foudre for 12 months’. Such is Adi’s way, the wine is made with minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery and is a true reflection of the vintage conditions and Swartland terroir. This is full of red berries and perfumed floral notes with a mineral edge. A small production of 3,500 bottles, so worth seeking out and stocking-up if you can. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	1	95 (DC) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £234.47
A. A. Badenhorst Red Blend 2016 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £232.07
2016	A. A. Badenhorst Red Blend 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (91) The 2016 Family Red Blend is a blend of 71% Shiraz, 13% Grenache, 11% Cinsault and 5% Tinta Barocca. It has a very pure bouquet, quite floral and intense, with dark cherries, black plum, warm gravel and light truffle scents, the 80% whole bunch completely disguised. The palate is medium-bodied with quite grippy tannin. There is good backbone here, quite dense but well defined with a chalky, slight austere finish, partly because Adi now undertakes more aging in concrete. Give this a couple of years in bottle. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	1	91 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £232.07
