Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2025, Swartland, South Africa
$19.95, The Living Vine
John Szabo – My only one this week is a perfect seasonal transition wine: Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2025. It’s hard to believe this beautiful chenin is still at the same price it has been for ages – a fine wine for $20 to be sure. Adi Badenhorst is a leader of the Swartland, and South African, wine revolution. Sapidity is high, acids succulent, and pleasure guaranteed. Enjoy over the near term.
