Baby Bandito Keep on Punching Testalonga MAGNUM, Chenin blanc, fresh, natural. The Chenin vines for Keep on Punching were originally planted in 1972, on a block that Craig has worked with previously, and it always gives very small clusters that are full of concentration and a high natural acidity. The soil is very exposed (lots of rocks) and this comes through in the backbone of the wines. The Chenin is whole bunch pressed and fermented in 2000 litre stainless tanks and follows the natural pattern of no yeast (or other) inoculation or additives apart from a small amount of SO2 shortly before bottling. A pure style of Chenin, balancing “nerve” and white flesh fruit character. a particularly cool Magnum bottle. Is Vegan? Yes Bottle Size 1500ml Production Method Natural, Organic Producer Craig Hawkins Testalonga Country South Africa Region Swartland, SA Vintage 2020 Wine Type Dry White Wine Wine Style Medium bodied Grape Chenin Blanc Terroir Granite Soil Alcohol 12% ABV Maturation Stainless Steel Total Sulphur 22mg/l Annual Production 0 - 5,000 bottles Ageing Potential 5 years but great young Food Matching Light Dishes and Salads, Shellfish
