Testalonga Bandits Kloof Daisy’s Pond Grenache Blanc 2023
Secure your allocation of the magnificent Testalonga Bandits Kloof Daisy’s Pond Grenache Blanc 2023. Renowned winemakers Craig and Carla Hawkins deliver an absolute triumph with this vintage. It represents a monumental milestone for the estate. For the first time, the Hawkins family showcases 100% estate-grown fruit from their own home farm, Bandits Kloof.
The 2023 growing season in the northern Swartland mountains yielded grapes of astonishing quality and complexity. These young vines, planted in 2018 on unique slate and decomposed schist soils, truly thrived. The vintage masterfully balances the blistering heat of the region with a beautiful, natural mountain freshness.
