Tasting notes

Adi Badenhorst makes this co-fermented red from various blocks on the Kalmoesfontein farm with a classic Swartland combination of Syrah, Tinta Barocca, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Grippy, firm, intense and built to age in bottle, it has garrigue aromas, damson and blackberry fruit, chewy tannins and very little wood influence. Needs time. 2024-29
