Testalonga Stay Brave Skin Contact Chenin 2022

Region: South Africa - Swartland

Grapes: Chenin Blanc

Alcohol: 12%

This is a fantastic small producer out of South Africa. The wine was orophaned when a small distributor closed and we got a great deal. It is perfect for those who like natural wine and skin contact whites (orange wines).

Winemaker's Notes

The grapes were hand harvested and 100% de-stemmed before fermenting spontaneously in fiberglass tanks. After about two weeks of skin contact, the wine was pressed off the skins and went back into the fiberglass tank for malo and aging. After 11 months, the wine was blended & bottled with a gentle filtration and sulfur addition. No fining.
