About this Item
AA Badenhorst Family Wines - AA Badenhorst Red Blend
A 1.5 litre bottle of AA Badenhorst Red Blend 2014
56% Shiraz, 17% Grenache, 17% Cinsault, 10% Tinta Barocca
Some estates harvest in strict accordance with the correct physiological ripeness. Maverick winemaker Adi Badenhorst prefers “psychological ripeness” when the timing “just feels right”.
The result is a fresh, elegant Shiraz-fronted red blend with herbal and spice aromatics, fine grape skin tannins and exquisitely pronounced laser-like red fruit acidity. At its core, the wine holds juicy red cherries, currants and red plum fruit, finished off with delicate hints of pepper and cloves. An exquisite example of just how elegant and refined a Shiraz blend can be.
The 2014 AA Badenhorst is Adi’s 8th release of this appellation wine. The wine has potential to age very gracefully for the next decade or so.
