Secateurs Red Blend.750

Proprietary Blend - Red

Vintage: 2009
Description: Vineyards and vines: The grapes used are from our farm and from our neighbours excellent fruit. Most vines are mountain sloped bushvines. We maintain that high quality fruit comes from old un-irrigated bushvines grown on a variety of granite soils that are naturally low yielding. Grapes: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache. Vinification: All grapes are hand-picked, chilled overnight and then crushed into concrete tanks for primary fermentation which lasts around two weeks. The tanks are pumped over twice daily with aeration during this time. The finished wine is run off into old casks and concrete tanks which have a low impact on the natural wine aromas and structures. Maturation: The blended wine was left on its gross lees in casks, foudres and concrete tanks for 14 months before being bottled. Before bottling the wine was lightly filtered but not fined. Secateurs they shape our bushvines during the winter pruning and are used to pick the ripe grapes in summer. Our family has for the last three generations, nurtured our vines so that they can produce fruit of integrity. This is the second vintage of Secateurs Red blend bottled under the Badenhorst Family Wines. We are very happy with the quality of this wine and expect it to develop wonderfully over the next couple of years. The aromas are perfumed, peppery, spicy, smoky and exhibit ripe red fruit notes. As always the palate texture of this style of wine is supple, smooth on the entry but with enough grip to end dry and refreshing. In the mouth the texture and fineness of fruit tannin and drinkability of the wine is immediately evident. Adi Badenhorst
