The producer
Piketberg vineyard planted in 1961
Testalonga is a project by Craig and Carla Hawkins, focusing on low-intervention winemaking in the Swartland region.
Testalonga began in 2008 and is dedicated to the Swartland region of South Africa. The Chenin Blanc for this wine comes from a Piketberg vineyard planted in 1961. Craig and Carla Hawkins emphasize a low-intervention approach, allowing for a more natural expression of the fruit.
The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo whole-bunch pressing. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in old oak foudre and stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled with minimal sulfur added.
