Founding A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines in the Paardeberg with his cousin Hein in 2008, Adi champions attentive farming and minimal intervention winemaking to convey an authentic expression of the Swartland in his wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eAdi grew up on a wine farm in Constantia and made his first wine at thirteen. After studying oenology at Elsenberg, he worked harvests at Château Angelus and Alain Graillot, before returning to South Africa. Following nine years as winemaker at the Rustenburg Estate in Stellenbosch, Adi was captivated by a rundown farm on the northern side of the Swartland’s Paardeberg Mountain. “The mountain has texture and slopes. You know those grapes can make interesting wines”, he explains. Today, that old farm forms Kalmoesfontein, where A.A. Badenhorst are based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 26022748-6e53-41fa-933e-416436dbdda3 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AA Badenhorst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55411388154241,"sku":"CUR00354","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/1509\/3540\/files\/IMG_5385.heic?v=1773244247","url":"https:\/\/curio.wine\/products\/2025-secateurs-chenin-blanc","provider":"curio.wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
