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.

The grapes are sourced from old bush vines growing in the Swartland region, which are dry-farmed and grown on granite and slate soils. These conditions give the wine its signature minerality and fresh character​.

No oak aging is employed for this rosé. The wine is made in stainless steel tanks to retain its crisp, fruit-forward profile​.

The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, fruity character. Minimal intervention is used during the winemaking process to maintain the wine's natural expression​.
