Badenhorst, Secateurs Red Blend, 2024
From Adi Badenhorst's old-vine playground in South Africa's Swartland comes the red counterpart to his beloved Secateurs Chenin. This is a Rhone-inspired blend built around Shiraz with the granite-soil character of the Paardeberg foothills baked right in. Adi farms gnarly old bush vines and works with a light hand in the cellar, so the wine comes across as juicy, peppery, and honest rather than heavy or polished. It's the everyday red the Swartland does so well: full of dark berry fruit, a little wild garrigue, and a fresh, savory snap. Pour it without overthinking it.
