The Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co., a new project (established around 2023) by the well-known South African winemaker Adi Badenhorst and his family. The mission of this company is specifically to celebrate the “forgotten heroes” of the wine world: fortified and sweet wines. In South Africa, wines of this style are traditionally called “Sherry” or a similar name, referencing the fortified wines of Jerez, Spain.

Tasting Profile (General Medium Cream Style): This style is a sweetened sherry, typically made by blending a dry, often oxidatively aged base wine (like Amontillado or Oloroso) with a naturally sweet wine (like Pedro Ximénez or Hanepoot/Muscat). It offers a rich, smooth, and sweet profile.

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.

In summary, the Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co. Medium Cream is a premium, sweet, fortified wine from a critically acclaimed producer, designed to honor South Africa’s rich tradition of “sherry-style” wines.
