Testalonga

Testalonga is run by Craig and Carla Hawkins in the Swartland region of South Africa, right on the southwest tip and just north of Cape Town in a province called the Western Cape. It's quite a dry, arid, Mediterranean climate. Craig is widely regarded as a pioneer of orange wines in South Africa, typically made with the Chenin Blanc grape. It was a skin macerated Vermentino from Antonio Perrino which absolutely blew his mind and made him want to make wine. He says it "spoke of something that I hadn’t felt before. It’s actually where the name Testalonga comes from. He was my inspiration."
