Secateurs Red Blend

The Secateurs Red Blend pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and Mediterranean cuisine. Its balance of fruit and spice also makes it a good match for mildly spiced dishes and hearty stews.

AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 28ha of old bushvines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain. The property is owned by the baie dynamic and good looking cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst. They are originally from Constantia. Their grandfather was the farm manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. Their fathers were born there and farmed together in Constantia, during the days when people still ate fresh vegetables and Hanepoot grapes, drank Cinsault and there were a lot less traffic lights and hippies still had a presence. Together these two have restored a neglected cellar on the farm that was last used in the 1930′s to make natural wines in the traditional manner.

This wine is made from a blend of three grape varieties: 54% Cinsault, 23% Grenache, and 23% Shiraz, sourced from the Swartland region in South Africa. The vineyards benefit from the region's Mediterranean climate and granite-rich soils, which contribute to the wine's unique flavor profile.

The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, with the use of older French oak to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit​.
