Having grown up on a Constantia wine farm, trained at Elsenberg and gained experience at Château Angélus, Alain Graillot and Rustenburg Estate, Adi founded A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines with his cousin Hein in 2008 on the Paardeberg’s Kalmoesfontein farm. Home to outstanding old bush vine Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache planted between the 1950s and 1970s, the vineyards sit on varied slopes and ancient granite, quartz and iron-rich koffieklip soils that give fragrant, characterful wines. Through attentive, hands-on farming and minimal-intervention winemaking, Adi aims to express the true character of the Swartland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard and Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePapegaai Red is a celebration of youth and diversity, crafted from 23 young vineyard parcels planted on the decomposed granite slopes of the Paardeberg. Each site contributes equally to the blend, resulting in a wine that captures a holistic and authentic sense of the Kalmoesfontein farm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver several days all grapes, red and white, are hand-harvested together and co-fermented on their skins. This unconventional approach, reflects years of thoughtful planning. Fermentation is natural, with minimal sulphur added, and the wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving purity and vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liberty Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57541497160053,"sku":"BF306B25","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_7d4207a8-7f9c-4c23-8aea-ddfff14e0038.jpg?v=1788551162","url":"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/products\/a-a-badenhorst-papegaai-red","provider":"Aitken's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
