Product Description:

"Adi Badenhorst has the unique ability to fashion spectacular wines at all levels of the price spectrum. The driving force behind the stellar A.A. Badenhorst Family wines and the dynamic ‘Secateurs’ range, Adi felt that there is tremendous potential in the under $10 category. There is so much high-quality fruit in the Swartland that ends up unrecognizable in Bag-in Box blends, I felt that by adding a little more care in the vinification of these grapes while maintaining the cost efficiency in the production… that we can produce wines that are sure to turn a few heads for a very reasonable sum of money.

Known for having impeccable taste and style, ‘The Curator’ has assembled this unique blend from the fantastic library of wine parcels at his disposal. These parcels each possess distinct and complex character, which translates into the wine." -Importer
