AA Badenhorst Family Wines are grown, made and matured on Kalmoesfontein farm in the Swartland appellation of South Africa. 28ha of old bushvines grow in the Siebritskloof part of the Paardeberg mountain.

The property is owned by the baie dynamic and good looking cousins Hein and Adi Badenhorst since 2007. Their grandfather was the farm manager of Groot Constantia for 46 years. Their fathers were born there and farmed togheter in Constantia, during the days when people still ate fresh vegetables and Hanepoot grapes, drank Cinsault and there were a lot less traffic lights and hippies still had a precense. Together these two have restored a neglected cellar on the farm that was last used in teh 1930's to make natural wines in the traditional manner.

On Kalmoesfontein it is back to basics, usiing traditional winemaking equipment and old cement kuipe. 'We make wines with immense character. We're using what we can afford. We are making theh best wines we can. And we are having great experiences. I want to make something, involving interaction from my family.
