Adi Badenhorst founded A.A. Badenhorst Family Wines on the Paardeberg’s Kalmoesfontein farm with his cousin, Hein, in 2008, having grown up on a Constantia wine farm, trained at Elsenberg and gained experience at Château Angélus, Alain Graillot and Rustenburg Estate. Home to outstanding old bush vine Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache planted between the 1950s and 1970s, the vineyards sit on varied slopes and ancient granite, quartz and iron-rich koffieklip soils that give fragrant, characterful wines. Through attentive, hands-on farming and minimal-intervention winemaking, Adi aims to express the true character of the Swartland.
