AA Badenhorst Family Wines
AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 180ha of old bushvines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain.
The property is owned by the baie dynamic and good-looking cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst. They are originally from Constantia. Their grandfather was the farm manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. Their fathers were born there and farmed together in Constantia, during the days when people still ate fresh vegetables and Hanepoot grapes, drank Cinsault and there were a lot less traffic lights and hippies still had a presence. Together these two have restored a neglected cellar on the farm that was last used in the 1930′s to make natural wines in the traditional manner.
Farm attractions include cellar tours and tastings (booked in advance); hiking; biking trails (own bikes); farm dams to swim & fish (catch & release); pony rides (booked in advance) and play areas with zip-line, swings, and cricket net for kids. There are animals everywhere and vegetable and herb gardens and fruit trees which you are welcome to harvest sustainably from.
Tasting by appointment at 11:30 on Wednesdays & Fridays followed by lunch
