South Africa, Swartland

‘Grapes from a Paardeberg vineyard planted in 1981. No SO2 added at any stage. Naartjie, ginger and a slight nuttiness on the nose. The palate is slightly broader than other offerings in the portfolio – full of flavour, the acidity moderate, the finish gently savoury. Alc: 12.45%’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

Producer information | Testalonga was established in 2008 by owners Craig and Carla Hawkins. The winemakers follow organic farming principles, which are still uncommon in Cape winemaking. The name Testalonga comes from a Sicilian outlaw and their wines are separated into two ranges, El Bandito and Baby Bandito. The wines have quirky names and labels and only small quantities are available for the local market. |
