The Badenhorst Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. Fortified Selection

A tribute to the timeless art of fortified winemaking, this six-bottle selection from The Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. reimagines classic styles with a distinctly South African character. Founded in 2023 by the renowned Badenhorst family of the Swartland, the company is dedicated to reviving and celebrating the country's rich—yet often overlooked—tradition of fortified and sweet wines.

Crafted in small, once-off releases, these bottlings are an exploration of flavour, heritage, and the magic of maturation. This is wine made with both reverence and joy—for those who appreciate complexity, nostalgia, and a touch of coastal soul.

• Amontillado NV (375ml)
  A dry, layered expression made from Palomino and Verdelho. Aged 18 months under flor and then a further 10 years oxidatively, this wine offers nutty, savoury complexity and a firm 17% ABV.
• Extra Dry Fino Style Sherry (500ml)
  A bright, saline blend of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc aged for four years under flor. Crisp, refreshing, and evocative of sea breezes and West Coast sands.
• Medium Cream NV (500ml)
  Comfort in a glass—smooth, gently sweet, with notes of caramel, roasted nuts, and dried fruit. Balanced by fresh acidity. A nostalgic nod to your ‘ouma’s’ favourite tipple.
• Oloroso NV (500ml)
  Profoundly dry and aromatic. After 14 years in cask, this wine reveals deep layers of roasted nuts, old leather, and warm spice, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish.
• Hanepoot 2014 (500ml)
  A fortified Muscat that sings of South African sunshine. Lush, perfumed, and bursting with ripe grape and floral intensity.
• Cape Vintage 2018 (500ml)
  A classic LBV-style port with bold dark fruit, spice, and structured tannins. Built to age gracefully or enjoy now for its richness and depth.
