AA Badenhorst Kalmoesfontein White 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Swartland
R415
‘45% Chenin Blanc, 11% Clairette Blanche, 10% Grenache Blanc, 8% Palomino, 8% Roussanne, 8% Viognier, 5% Muscat d’Alexandrie and 5% Verdelho – all grapes picked over three days. Gorgeous aromatics of fllowers, fynobs, pear, peach, citrus and quince. The palate is intense but not weighty with a striking line of acidity and a pithy finish. Poised and detailed. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
‘The 2022 White Blend Kalmoesfontein, fermented in foudres and aged in concrete for 20 months, has a tightly wound bouquet that demands coaxing: melted candle wax, white flowers and a very slight Muscat note from the 1-2% of that variety in the blend. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, palpable energy and poise, closing with a refined, pithy, orange-rind-tinged finish. Excellent. 2025-2035.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100

| Producer information | AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. The farm is owned by cousins, Hein and Adi Badenhorst, and over the last decade, 41 hectares of old vines, the oldest planted back in 1952, have been farmed back to glory. They practice biological farming and make natural wines in the traditional manner. 'The top wines translate Swartland through Adi's fuzzy logic and irresistible charm,' writes Neal Martin after a visit. He also calls his visit one of his 'top 10 wine visits of all time'. |
