Table wine from Leo Erazo's vineyards planted in the 1950s, which I suppose counts as young for him. 100% Cinsault made traditionally and bottled in a 1L bottle.
Papegaai is a co-fermented blend of all the grapes on Badenhorst's Kalmoesfontein, including Cinsault, Chenin Blanc, Palomino, and Syrah, sourced from 23 distinct vineyards. Light and easy-drinking, with raspberry fruit flavours and herbaceousness in the finish.
Tiny production single-vineyard wine from Adi Badenhorst's best Cinsault grapes, made with carbonic maceration. Lightly coloured but packs an intense concentration of fruit.
A light, delicate Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a green pepper note from the whole-cluster maceration, that spends a year in barrel before bottling.
Made with whole cluster, spontaneous fermentation from grapes grown midway up the hill in the Champs Pimonts climat. A relative bargain for a Burgundy 1er Cru in these times of exceedingly high prices for the region. Available in Canada only at Ellement; talk about exclusive!
