Embrace a piece of South African wine heritage with the Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. Hanepoot 2014. Acclaimed winemaker Adi Badenhorst expertly crafts this exceptional fortified wine, reviving a cherished Cape classic for modern appreciation.
Badenhorst’s project champions the “forgotten heroes” of fortified wines, and this release proudly features 100% Hanepoot (Muscat d’Alexandrie) grapes. They source the fruit from the sun-drenched Swartland region. Consequently, the wine bursts with the grape’s signature aromatic intensity.
Following fortification, this vintage undertook an extraordinary maturation journey, spending an impressive 10 years aging in cask. This extensive barrel time develops profound complexity and a rich, deep hue. The final result is a lush, sweet fortified wine that delivers expressive notes of ripe grape, floral perfume, and concentrated honeyed intensity. Furthermore, its rich texture and balance make it an ideal partner for cheese, decadent desserts, or contemplative sipping. Experience an authentic, expertly aged taste of the Cape by purchasing the Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. Hanepoot 2014.
