Description
WINEMAKER: Hein and Adi Badenhorst
REGION: Swartzland, SA
VARIETY: Chenin Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic & Biologically
The Secateurs Chenin has become one of those quiet staples - always reliable, always tasty, and never trying too hard. The 2024 is no different. Sourced mostly from old bush vines around the Swartland, it’s a proper snapshot of what the region does best. Adi Badenhorst keeps things simple in the cellar - native ferment, mostly old oak and big concrete tanks, no fining, no fluff. The result is a wine that feels grounded and unpretentious, but still has a bit of weight and texture behind it.
There’s orchard fruit, a bit of citrus, maybe a touch of spice, but nothing too shouty or overworked. It’s the kind of white you can pour mid-week and not think too hard about - or bring to a table full of proper wine people and not be embarrassed. Dry, balanced, clean, and always better than it needs to be at the price. Just a really well-made Chenin from a winemaker who’s been doing it right for years.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
