Testalonga El Bandito The Dark Side

If Barossa Shiraz had a wild, enigmatic, but loveable alter ego, it might just be this delicate yet perky natural Syrah from Swartland, South Africa. Made with a minimalist approach, this wine is fermented with 100% whole bunches in open 1500L tanks and aged in old French oak barrels. The result is an aromatic and crunchy red, whose pale appearance masks a juicy depth and lingering, intense finish. The nose is subtle but alluring, offering delicate notes of red and black fruits, flowers, and white pepper. Dark violets and pepper dance alongside crunchy red fruit, while slippery tannins and precise fruit deliver a seamless finish. A wine of great purity and depth, perfect for those who appreciate elegance and whimsy in their wines.
