Testalonga El Bandito “Sweet Cheeks”

R359.00

Hanepoot – Skin Macerated

Note from Craig: “The name comes from the children who every year love to pick at the sweet berries and eat them, hence “sweet cheeks”.  Probably the most fragrant wine we make. Hanepoot (Muscat Alexandrie) is actually a table grape and meant for eating but we did an experiment in 2013 with skin contact to try and extract the flavour and it has made one of our most refreshing wines to drink.”

CE: Essence of grape, blossom and some terpene character on the nose while the palate has pure fruit, zippy acidity and some pithy character to the finish. Entirely charming.
