Testalonga Skin Chenin Natural Wine 2019 Cartel Roasters

Testalonga: El Bandito Skin Chenin 2020

$120.00

Grown on 50 Year old Vines, the Skin Chenin was the first Testalonga wine, and it cemented Craig’s place as a Premier producer of Natural Wine in South Africa.

The longer skin contact than even the Stay Brave, giving more tannin and structure. Pushing it into the Orange wine Territory.

Craig Hawkins is the South African Rebel of Wine. Like everything in South Africa, the wine industry has changed loads after Apartheid, and has yet to realise its full potential. During Apartheid, there was one central wine authority, Koöperatieve Wijnbouwers Vereniging van Zuid-Afrika Bpkt (KWV). Think of it like an AOC or GI on crack. They controlled almost all aspects of production and export, until the end of Apartheid when the KWV was privatised allowing winemakers more breathing room and control of their Vineyards.

Cue Craig; unlike other Natural Wine Producers, he consistently confounds South African authorities to the point of even occasionally being denied export licenses. His wines have great length and acidity. Like all Great Natural Wines, no Sulphur, no Additives, and Indigenous Yeasts.
