The AA Badenhorst White Blend is an incredibly complex and lively white wine cuvée from South Africa's Swartland region - a classical orchestra of no less than ten different grape varieties, with Chenin Blanc as solo artist. It smells of ripe stone fruit, exciting spices, tea and fragrant citrus blossoms, and its bouquet on the nose runs seamlessly through to the lush, full-bodied palate, where taste nuances of ripe stone fruit and mineral nuances combine with the well-balanced play of acidity. It ends in a fruity opulent and pleasantly delicious finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The previously cooled grapes were pressed all over the bunch, after which the juice was poured into older, previously covered barrels. Some grape varieties were already blended here, while others fermented separately. After fermentation was completed, the wines matured for 15 months in older 1200 l and 3000 l "foudres". On completion of ageing, all the wines were blended and matured for a further 6-8 months in concrete tanks on the lees before the finished cuvée was bottled.

AA Badenhorst Family Wines

Weingut aus Südafrika | Swartland

Adi Badenhorst zählt heute mit seinen charaktervollen Weinen zu Südafrikas top preisgekrönten Weinmachern. Die einst eher unterschätzte Region Swartland war früher einer der wichtigsten Traubenlieferanten für die großen Weinkooperativen. Winzer wie Adi Badenhorst erkannten jedoch das immense Potenzial der Region und begannen mit der Produktion von kunsthandwerklichen Qualitätsweinen. 2010 gründete er zu diesem Zweck zusammen mit anderen Winzern die „Swartland Revolution“. Die alten Reben der Region sowie die Granit-, Eisen- und Schieferböden dieser besonderen Gegend bieten beste Voraussetzungen für die Produktion einzigartiger Weine von herausragender Qualität.
