AA Badenhorst ‘Secateurs’ Chenin Blanc 2020
Swartland, South AfricaTwenty-eight hectares of Swartland’s vineyards belong to AA Badenhorst, run by cousins Adi and Hein and dedicated to crafting naturally made South African signatures — namely Chenin Blanc and Cinsault — that bring the power of this picturesque region to life.
Founded in 2007 when Adi bought a neglected winery and lovingly restored it to glory, AA Badenhorst has fast become one of the region’s iconic producers and a herald for what Swartland is truly capable of. Their Chenin Blanc is crafted from low-yielding, 60-year-old, dry-grown, organically farmed vines, and is a benchmark expression of the variety.

Rossouw, Gouws & Clarke ‘Dry Red’ Pinotage 2019
Swartland, South Africa
In 1925, Abraham Perold, the first Professor in viticulture at the University of Stellenbosch, fused Pinot Noir and Cinsault (known in South Africa back then as Hermitage) to create Pinotage – the varietal that’s since become the pride of South Africa. It just so happens to also be the particular obsession of Rossouw, Gouws & Clarke.
An homage to Pinotage in its lighter, more youthful form and crafted using organic fruit from half-century-old vines, the Dry Red sings of the ardent passion these wine enthusiasts have for Pinotage — and the obvious joy they get from creating it.
Expect to find
A vibrant basket-load of just-plucked raspberry and cherry, coated with warming clove, ground cinnamon, and a dash of turned earth. Its silky smooth and seductive on the palate - those that enjoy Pinot Noir will enjoy this South African expression.Enjoy

Flotsam and Jetsam ‘Flight of the Jackass’ Cinsault 2018
Stellenbosch, South Africa
On the slopes of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Hemelrand Farm grows some of the most prestigious dry-farmed bushvines in South Africa.

Made with fruit from 40-year-old vines, Flight of the Jackass spotlights the bright strawberry-spice balance of Cinsault, one of South Africa’s most famous varietals.
