Secateurs (A.A. Badenhorst), Chenin Blanc, Swartland, South Africa 2021

This Chenin Blanc spent time in concrete tanks and old casks; this is an important part of the maturation and gives incredible texture and palate weight to the wine. The aromas are flinty with honey, orange blossom and white stone fruit notes.

Secateurs are the pruning shears that shape the vines — a tribute to the workers who are already working the vines in the cold winters of the Cape. This wine is made by the Badenhorst family who have been producing quality wine in South Africa for three generations.
