Colombard Method Ancestral

The I Wish I Was A Ninja 2025 is a vibrant, low-alcohol Méthode Ancestrale designed purely for drinking enjoyment. From 1972-planted, old-vine Colombard from the Paardeberg’s decomposed granite. Following whole-bunch pressing, the wine’s strict vinification avoids malolactic conversion, preserving its acidity (8.7 g/l). Bottled at high sugar to finish fermentation under crown cap. This meticulous process delivers a highly refreshing, structured, low-alcohol sparkling wine with integrated residual sugar (30 g/l).

Alc. 8.5%

Description
Additional information

The wines of TESTALONGA defy convention in a lot of ways. Craig has never been accused of being “a follower” and these wines represent the avant-garde of South African wine. The fruit is farmed by Craig and his team using organic and biodynamic methods. Craig is proud of making natural wines, thus early picking, a lack of additions (minute amounts of SO2 are infrequently used) with no fining or filtration are all hallmarks of his approach. They have bought a farm in the Piketberg area in northern Swartland, and have started to plant vines as of 2018.
