This is such a pretty wine, with red fruits to the fore, theres some subtle earthiness and hints of spice. Refreshing and elegant, with super-fine tannins, this would be perfect served with just a little chill pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.

The Ramnasgras Cinsault comes from a single parcel of vines planted in 1954 on decomposed Granite soils. The wine is fermented with whole bunches in large old oak vats, after fermentation the wine is pressed and left to mature for a year in vat before bottling.

----------

Adi Badenhorst is one of the super-stars of the new-wave of South African wine. Together with his Cousin, Hein, he owns a 28 Hectare farm in Swartland on Paardeberg mountain. Adi is a true force of nature, and one of the most charismatic winemakers Ive ever met in a way these wines reflect their maker - bright, joyous, and full of character.

Swartland is a hot-spot for talented young winemakers in South Africa. Drawn there by better land prices compared to the more famous Stellenbosch region, and a host of old vineyards with good age, producing small quantities of very-high quality fruit.

The Swartland region is hot, but what makes it unique is the mountain ranges that jut-out from the plains. This gives a cooling influence to the vineyards, especially at night, and enables the grapes to retain freshness. The soils on the Badenhorst farm are mainly granite, which for me always gives wines a sense of freshness and energy.

Farming here is fully organic, with a very soft touch in the cellar. Fermentations are all completed with wild yeast and the wines are matured in cement tanks and large old oak barrells, meaning the natural fruit character is always the star of the show without any influence from new wood barrels or winemaking gimmicks.

  • Great service and excellent wines

    Excellent service and excellent wines. I wanted a selection of six wines and asked Peckham Cellars to make the choice for me based on a price range. The wines were all superb and unique in that they were from small suppliers that I personally would have no knowledge of. If you want something different at your next dinner / party then I can't recommend these guys enough.

  • Super-speedy delivery

    Super-speedy delivery! My wines arrived safe and sound in fully recyclable packaging. A real bonus. Website has such a great selection it was hard to choose.

  • I placed my order online from…Melbourne

    I placed my order online from Melbourne Australia and the delivery of my birthday gift to a friend in London happened smoothly, quickly and well presented. Big thanks to the team at Peckham Cellars

  • Nice wine. Easy and efficient

    Great for sending to friends as gifts/congratulations. You can include a message with the wine, so ideal really. Fun range of interesting wines.
