2022 | A.A. Badenhorst | Klip Kop Steen

The 2022 Klipkop Steen is matured in a concrete vat. It opens nicely in the glass with a pretty nose hazelnut, touches of peach and crushed stone. The taut, fresh palate has balance and a slightly honeyed texture, the acidity keeping the finish firm and focused. Moderate length. 

Producer Information

A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines is a small wine producer in the Swartland region of South Africa. It is known for its premium blended wines: the full-bodied, complex white wine is made up of Chenin Blanc with a wide range of other grape varieties, and the supple, mineral-laden red wine is a Southern Rhone blend. Former Rustenberg winemaker Adi Badenhorst and his cousin Hein bought the Kalmoesfontein farm in Swartland in 2008. The farm boasts 28 hectares (69 acres) of mostly old bush vines, planted in the 1950s and 60s on granite soils. Chenin Blanc, Cinsaut and Grenache make up the majority of the vineyard, and other varieties are brought in from other sites in the area. The Badenhorst winery uses traditional winemaking methods. Whites are generally whole bunch-pressed before being run to their fermentation vessel.
