A.A. Badenhorst 'Secateurs' Chenin Blanc

The property is owned by the dynamic and good-looking cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst. They are originally from Constantia and their grandfather was the manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. The duo make some of the most compelling values produced in the Swartland region of South Africa.

Most of their Chenin vines were planted in the late 1960s to mid-1970 and tend to yield around 4 tons/hectare. This wine spent time on its lees in concrete tanks and old casks, which gives incredible texture and palate weight to the wine. The aromas are flinty with honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit notes.
