2012 A.A. Badenhorst 'Secateurs' Swartland South Africa. Mainly Shiraz and Cinsault, cleverly blended with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage and Mourvèdre grown on granite soil near Malmsbury. Suave texture, Cinsault adds most convincing feature, it's suppleness. Liqueur like red currant and strawberry aromas, with mineral undertones. Fresh finish. Worth seeking out, good value for money!!

Capa y densidad media alta, granate y ribete violeta. En nariz buena potencia, fruta roja madura, notas balsámicas, ahumado ligero. En boca buena entrada, paso con buen secante, ligero, el final se queda un poco corto.

Medium-bodied and smooth with layers of red plum, red cherry, hints of smoke, liquorice, Asian spice mix, and black pepper. Great value.

Hard not to like this one. Juicy, fresh, but a good deal of concentration. Black fruit, tar, herbal notes that point to the Rhone, and spice. Not overly complex, but balanced and well put together. Definitely a nice late-night sip

Excellent summer weight wine. Nice herbs and spice and a hint of sense of place. Must be the 2% pinotage showing through
