The AA Badenhorst Family Wines Red Blend is a highly endowed cuvée from South Africa's Swartland region. Immediately after pouring into the glass, the nose sniffs complex aromas of black pepper, aromatic liquorice, fragrant perfumes and black cherries. On the palate, this red wine of extraordinary density and complexity presents itself with heavenly nuances of fragrant lavender and black berry fruit. The finish is dry with well-integrated tannins and a spicy, piquant and currant finish.

The grapes for the Adi Badenhorst Family Red were already sorted with the utmost care and know-how in the vineyard and transported in small harvest baskets to the winery, where they were immediately cooled down overnight in cooling containers. The next morning the whole grapes were filled into concrete vats or wooden barrels for fermentation, where they were crushed with pure leg strength. The grape material fermented in closed concrete vats spent 6 months on the skin before it was pressed. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 16 months in previously covered oak barrels with a capacity of 4000 l. It was then blended and bottled.
