Badenhorst The Curator White Blend

We set off for Swartland, home to many ancient dry-farmed bush vine vineyards. Swartland is the oldest wine region in South Africa and the largest - and it had been nearly forgotten about. We rescued some of the highest quality old vine fruit from farmers who would have otherwise sold their wines to big wineries to blend into their tanks of commercial wine. Many of these vines are over 100 years old, so old that they produce very small yields, giving fantastically high quality grapes.

A Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay blend from the Swartland for a price that warrants case buys. Perhaps the best value in the wine world today: hand harvested, bush vines, granite and slate soils. All done in concrete. Structured, dried peaches, warm spice.
