Grab the rare Testalonga El Bandito Lekker 2024 in a 1.5 litre Magnum. This natural Chenin Blanc is only bottled in this large format. The grapes come from a unique 1998 dryland vineyard. This special site sits on “beach sand” over a chalk layer near Elands Bay. Ocean breezes cool the vines daily. This produces the wine’s signature salty flavor.
The Testalonga El Bandito Lekker 2024 offers ethereal aromas. Pear, peach, soft citrus, and a hint of ginger define the nose. It feels broad and textured on the palate. Moderate acidity gives it lift. A distinct salty finish provides plenty of interest. The “Lekker” is a cheeky, small-production wine. Christian Eedes of Winemag.co.za awarded the 2024 vintage a strong 92/100 score. Enjoy this wine for its unique terroir expression.
