So here we are. Finally. Old vine Chenin, 10 days on skins. We're in real wine territory here, things done for a specific reason to make a good wine rather than for the sake of it. Complexity is no issue here, but enjoyment is right up there too. It's got all that zing you want from Chenin, a core of sumptuous fruit that'll make most happy, but the texture is why we come here. Power of the highest order. ABV: 12%

In 2008, after many years making wine all over the globe, Craig and Carla Hawkins started Testalonga in Swartland, South Africa. Their first wine was a skin contact Chenin and from there they have introduced new vineyards of mostly old vines of Grenache, Muscat, Carignan, Hárslevelű and Syrah. All of the fruit comes from dry-farmed, organic sites. The wines are made with as little manipulation as possible – in good years it’s as simple as picking, pressing, waiting, watching and bottling with nothing added at any stage.
