Testalonga, Mielie Green Chenin 2023

Testalonga is the passion project of one of South Africa's most exciting natural winemakers, Craig Hawkins. After spending time honing his craft in Portugal and Austria, Craig returned to his native Swartland where he harnesses the Mediterranean climate to make expressive and totally organic wines. Named for his daughter, Mielie 2023 is made from 100% Chenin Blanc. Fresh notes of ripe green apples, juicy pears, and zesty citrus fruits are on the nose, along with a hint of honeysuckle and white flowers. The palate is super fresh and vibrant, offering a delightful combination of zesty lemon, tangy grapefruit, and a touch of lime zest. Medium-bodied and elegant, it's a perfect pair with all kinds of seafood.
