Secateurs Red Blend 2025 is a vibrant and approachable expression of Swartland viticulture, crafted by Adi Badenhorst from Cinsault, Shiraz and Grenache. The 2025 vintage emphasises fruit purity and drinkability, featuring a lively bouquet of red berries, fynbos and cracked black pepper. Winemaking focuses on whole-cluster fermentation and maturation in older large-format oak to maintain a supple, medium-bodied profile with soft tannins. This wine is designed to capture the spontaneous energy of the region, providing a refreshing acidity and a spicy, savoury finish that makes it exceptionally versatile.
