Adi Badenhorst has been farming in Swartland since 2008, and in that time has contributed to the gold rush of wines that have been consistently emerging. This wine is no different. Adi’s take on an “orange wine” consists of around two thirds of the grapes being fermented on the skins. Prior to the run-off being taken into old 500L barrels where fermentation is finished. No sulfur is added during this process, and the wine is bottle unfined and unfiltered. Candied oranges, rosemary and pineapple make away to a deliciously textural palate and a long finish.
Food PairingTry this with hard cheeses, rich seafood dishes, or fried chicken.
Official Tasting Notes Not strictly a white wine - made with skin contact, so a lovely pale amber. 85% Chenin with 8% Semillon and 7% Colombard. Griddled apricots, peach kernel and earl grey tea that with time in the glass becomes spicy and highly scented - stem ginger and candied pineapple, with a splash of lemon barley water on the palate. Gently chalky and long in the mouth, finishing with lots of ripe grapefruit. We can imagine it would be superb with crudo or ceviche - and a v good intro to skin contact wine overall.
