The wine

The red sibling to Badenhorst’s famous Secateurs Chenin, and every bit as overachieving. A Shiraz-led Swartland blend, with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault, drawn from old bush vines on the slopes of the Paardeberg.

Gentle handling gives a wine that is fresh, peppery and bright, with crunchy red and dark berry fruit, a savoury edge and supple tannins. Unfussy but seriously well made.

A natural with roast and grilled meats, charcuterie, a tomato-rich pasta or a wedge of hard cheese. Serve with just a touch of a chill.

The producer

Few names capture the free spirit of South Africa’s Swartland quite like AA Badenhorst. The wines are made by Adi Badenhorst, one of the leading figures of the Swartland Revolution, who founded the family winery with his cousin Hein in 2008 on a run-down farm high on the Paardeberg mountain.

That farm, Kalmoesfontein, remains the heart of everything. Its old bush vines of Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache are rooted in decomposed granite and iron-rich koffieklip, dry-farmed and tended with great care. Adi is a farmer first, doing the real work in the vineyard and stepping back in the cellar, where a minimal-intervention hand lets each site speak for itself.

The result is a range of striking honesty and character, from the brilliantly judged Secateurs Chenin Blanc and red blend that punch far above their weight, to layered field blends and old-vine single-vineyard bottlings. For drinkers who want authentic, terroir-driven AA Badenhorst wines with a real sense of place, this is the Swartland at its most compelling.
