Since the elevation of Cairanne to a southern Rhône cru, this first release of 'La Côte Sauvage' continues to be characterised by its finesse and finely-grained texture, due in part to the famous ‘argilo-calcaire’ of hilltop vineyards such as La Pauline and Les Six Terrasses, slow wine making methods and gentle maturation in different sized barrels of old French oak.

High up in the ‘slopes of schist’ in the rugged, mountainous terroir of Séguret lies a single vineyard so predominantly planted with Grenache Noir (intermingled only here and there with some Syrah) that the resulting wine – Les Coteaux Schisteux – comes close to being one of the purest expressions of Grenache Noir in the southern Rhône Valley.

AA Badenhorst Family Wines The Curator Red Blend simply jumps from the glass displaying exotic red and black fruits with a mouth-filling texture. Known for having impeccable taste and style, Adi Badenhorst has assembled this wonderful blend from a library of wine parcels at his disposal. Distinct, complex and very easy drinking. Sophisticated yet unpretentious, much like Mr. Badenhorst himself...

A rewarding and satisfyingly juicy mix of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache. Circle of Life tells the story of Waterkloof: a once conventionally farmed property transformed into a living, breathing organic and regenerative vineyard by Farm Manager Christiaan Loots and his team.

Intense red-purple in the glass. Initial smoky cloves and savoury notes give way to a plum and black cherry nose with hints of sweet oak spice. Medium bodied with well-integrated oak and fruit, this wine has a smooth tannin structure and lingering spice flavours.
