Score 93/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
The 2011 Family Red Blend has a succinct bouquet with blackberry, raspberry leaf, bay leaf, cloves and white pepper that shows fine detail. Twelve months on and that Provencal allure is intact. The palate is crisp with chalky tannins, slightly darker and earthier fruit than the nose suggests, with a compact but crisp finish. Excellent.

About the producer

A A Badenhorst
Adi Badenhorst was one of the original pioneers of South Africa’s New Wave. Based up on the Paardeberg, he uses a hands-off approach to craft expressive wines and spirits in the Swartland – from his moreish Capéritif to single-site Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache.
