South Africa's new Swartland winemakers are making their own rules


Badenhorst first experimented with wine-making when he was just 13.

He mixed his first wine at 13, and today Adi Badenhorst is one of a group of passionate young winemakers who found their promised land in South Africa’s Swartland soils.

Reggae music fills the cellar. Posters of boxing legend Muhammad Ali are plastered on the walls. About 100km north of Cape Town, Badenhorst’s Kalmoesfontein is no ordinary vineyard, its winemaker’s language as peppered as his beard and long hair.
