Testalonga I Am The Ninja 2024

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc from Swartland, South Africa. Vineyard grows on decomposed sandstone. Vineyard is flat and located 95m above sea level

Taste Profile: Light yellow with aromas of fresh citrus fruits, honeysuckle and apricots. Crisp and refreshing with flavours of lime, green apples and white peach

Winemaking Process: Hand-harvested then fermented in fibreglass tank at a temperature of 8 degrees. It was racked 6 times during fermentation to remove the sediment. At a sugar of 35g/l it was bottled under crown cap where it was left to finish fermentation and build up a natural pressure of carbon dioxide. After 10 months the bottles were riddled and disgorged and topped with the same wine (from other decanted bottles) and crown capped again. No SO2 was ever added to the wine and neither was any settling or fining agent
