AA Badenhorst Secateurs Rosé 750ml

The AA Badenhorst Secateurs Rosé is a complex and elegant wine from the Swartland Wine of Origin region. Winemaker Adi Badenhorst creates this distinctive rosé using traditional, minimal-intervention methods. The name Secateurs honors the pruning tool essential to the region’s bushvine vineyards. This unique wine is made from a blend of Cinsault, Shiraz/Syrah, and Grenache Noir. Grapes are sourced from old, dry-farmed bushvines. These vines grow in the Swartland’s characteristic decomposed granite and shale soils.

AA Badenhorst Secateurs Rosé presents a pale, salmon-pink colour. On the nose, you will find complex aromas of red fruits, spice, rose water, and currants. Notes of sliced strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of white pepper also emerge. The palate is generous and textured with a silky density. Flavours include bright red fruit, cranberry, and a lovely clean minerality. The wine finishes dry with a pleasing, lingering spice note. Its vibrant acidity keeps it crisp and refreshing.
