Please join Craig Hawkins of TESTALONGA Wines, and Ex Animo Wine Co. at the newest vinous destination in Cape Town – Culture Wine Bar – for a tasting of TESTALONGA wines, including some from the recently released 2020 vintage.
This is a seated tasting, with limited availability. Craig will lead us through a range of the wines, sharing stories of their inception and creation for 90 minutes. It will be a casual, intimate tasting, and he will happily answer questions throughout. You will be able order the wines for delivery on the evening.
There is no food included in the ticket price, but Culture Wine Bar (with Grub & Vine next door) offer a small menu with wine-friendly bits like charcuterie, cheese – and whatever else catches chef Matt Manning’s fancy that day. Alternatively, book a table for afterwards at Grub & Vine here.
About TESTALONGA
Craig and Carla seek purity, precision and brightness in their wines and only work with vineyards that can produce high-quality grapes (with relatively low pH) ensuring that there is minimal need for intervention in the cellar. A herbicide- and pesticide-free approach in the vineyard is essential to their goals. They work with cover crops rather than chemical fertilisers in the winter to ensure moisture retention and general soil health in the dry Swartland climate. Expressing vineyard is key, so all the wines are a single variety from a single site.
The venue
Culture Wine Bar is “a collaborative venture by Chef Matt Manning and Chris Groenewald, Culture Wine Bar offers a curated selection of fine wines from the country’s most respected names, cult classics, hidden gems, natural wines, and special imports from across the globe.”
We think that Culture Wine Bar is a fantastic addition to the vinous landscape in the Cape.
Tickets
There is a limited number of tickets available. It is a semi-formal seated tasting, where we will taste one wine at a time with Craig discussing each one. We will start at 18h00 and finish at 19h30. Price is R250 per head. Unfortunately no refunds.
