Tasting notes
Made from a blend of 50% Shiraz, 25% Grenache and 25% Cinsault, the 2021 Secateurs Red Blend is softly reductive with a sincere and focused expression that bursts with ripe red fruits and subtle spice tones. Medium-bodied, the palate offers sensations of potpourri before compressing tannins grip the gumline. The wine ends with a lip-smacking, red-fruited, spicy and lingering finish that punches above its weight class.

The 2021 Secateurs Red has a lovely nose with brambly red fruit, an attractive floral note emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiselled tannins. Cohesive towards the sappy finish, this is the best Secateurs Red that I have tasted.
About the producer

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.
