2013 A.A. Badenhorst "Secateurs" Chenin Blanc Swartland

Splash this into a decanter to release its fragrance and you‰۪ll find a fresh, brisk chenin. It has the generous, waxy texture of the variety, the chew of the fruit skin, along with hints of lanolin that make it a natural partner to ch̬vre. Secateurs is Adi Badenhorst‰۪s "second tier" from the 69 acres of unirrigated bush vines he and his cousin, Hein, own in Siebritskloof, on Paardeberg Mountain.
