Chenin Blanc Method Ancestral

The same vineyard used for Keep On Punching.

The I Am The Ninja 2025 is a vibrant, low-alcohol Méthode Ancestrale from 1961-planted Chenin Blanc in Piketberg sandstone. This wine is made for great acidity (no malolactic) and primary purity. The whole-bunch pressed juice is clarified and then bottled early to finish fermentation under its crown cap aged 10 months on lees and disgorged, it is a focused, highly refreshing sparkling wine, perfect in lieu of a beer, cider, sparkling water.

Alc. 10%

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.
