AA Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2024

AA Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2024

• Region: South Africa
• Sub-Region: Swartland

Vineyard Sourced from dryland-farmed old bush vines planted between 1960 and 1972 on the granite slopes of the Paardeberg mountain. Unirrigated farming restricts yields, imparting concentrated fruit purity and bright natural acidity.

Wine Benchmark Swartland Chenin Blanc bursting with aromas of honeyed yellow apple, white peach, jasmine, and flinty minerality. The palate is vibrant and wonderfully textured, offering layers of crisp green apple, stone fruit, and citrus rind, balanced by subtle lees weight and a long, refreshing finish.

Food Pairings

• Pan-seared kingfish with lemon herb caper butter
