Adi Badenhorst is one of the iconic figures of South Africa's Swartland revolution, farming Kalmoesfontein on the Paardeberg with his cousin Hein and producing wines that fuse old-world restraint with Swartland's wild, sun-baked soul. The Family Red is the flagship blend — in 2021, Shiraz leads with Cinsault, Tinta Barocca, Mourvedre, and Grenache filling out the chorus. Whole-bunch ferments, foot-stomping, long skin contact, then nearly a year and a half in large old oak. The result is complex and brooding: black cherry, lavender, cracked pepper, licorice, fennel, and a stony reduction that screams Swartland granite. Built for the long haul, but already singing.

"A blend of Shiraz, Tinta Barocca, Cinsault, Mataro and Grenache, the 2021 Family Red Blend wine presents a full, fresh and dusty expression in the glass, embodying the essence of a food-friendly red blend. It reveals layers of complexity and savory notes, with succulent acidity over the balanced structure and a fine tannic edge that persists through the finish, promising longevity and inviting enjoyment for years to come. With 10,700 bottles produced, this blend offers exceptional value for quality." —Anthony Mueller

Braai-style lamb chops, slow-roasted shoulder with rosemary and garlic, grilled ribeye with peppercorn crust, oxtail stew, mushroom ragu over polenta, and aged hard cheeses with quince paste and walnuts.

Tasting Profile

Medium- to full-bodied and complex. Black cherry, plum, lavender, cracked pepper, licorice, and fennel over a granitic, stony spine. Firm fine tannins, bright acidity, long savory finish.
