Experience the pure, vibrant energy of the Swartland with the Testalonga Mielie Magenta Grenache Noir 2024. This vintage captures the essence of a cooler growing season with remarkable precision and focus. Grapes come from organic vines and benefit from a slightly longer extraction period in the cellar this year. You will find a wine that remains light-bodied while offering a deeper aromatic profile and a more structured finish. Expect a bright bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle white pepper supported by a signature crunchy acidity.
Craig and Carla Hawkins focus on minimal intervention to let the terroir speak clearly through every bottle. The Testalonga Mielie Magenta Grenache Noir 2024 underwent fermentation in open-top vessels to enhance fruit purity and color. The juice matured in concrete tanks to preserve its primary character and famous “Beaujolais-esque” charm. It pairs beautifully with roasted Mediterranean vegetables, smoked poultry, or charcuterie boards. This release currently holds a 91-point rating from Winemag.co.za and continues the producer’s streak of excellence in the Tim Atkin Special Report.
