Adi Badenhorst has the unique ability to fashion spectacular wines at all levels of the price spectrum. The Curator was assembled as a unique blend from the fantastic library of wine parcels at Adi's disposal. Chenin Blanc is the backbone and structure of this blend. The Chardonnay was naturally and slowly fermented resulting in great texture and aromas of dried peaches, apricots and ripe citrus. The Viognier brings some spice and palate length to the wine. Blend: 56% Chenin Blanc, 22% Chardonnay, 19% Viognier, 2% Colombar and 1% Roussanne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nA.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. All fruit is fermented in old oak casks, concrete vats or open wooden vats, depending on color and variety. The red wines will then undergo long post-ferment macerations, before pressing and aging in casks or 4000 litre foudres. As well as the A.A. Badenhorst red and white blends, the winery makes a small range of other labels. The Secateurs range is Badenhorst's entry-level range, comprising a red, a white and a rosé in some vintages. On top of this, Badenhorst also makes a solera-aged wine (called Funky White) in some vintages.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42910267801738,"sku":"","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/9.jpg?v=1682415281","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-lu\/products\/2021-a-a-badenhorst-family-wines-the-curator-white-blend","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
