Originally released as the 2023 ‘I Am The Ninja’ Chenin Blanc Pét-Nat, this special bottling has spent an extraordinary 33 months ageing on its lees before release. The extended maturation has transformed the wine, bringing greater depth, a beautifully creamy texture and finer, more persistent bubbles, while retaining the vibrant freshness and lively energy that made the original so compelling. It is an expressive, characterful sparkling Chenin that balances youthful vitality with the added complexity that only time can provide.

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.
