Testalonga Chin Up Cinsault 2024
Testalonga Chin Up Cinsault 2024 is a vibrant expression from the renowned Hillcrest Farm in Swartland. This wine embodies the innovative spirit of Craig and Carla, who are committed to producing wines that offer freshness and drinkability. The bright red cherry notes and subtle earthy undertones are hallmarks of their winemaking approach, delivering a light-bodied wine with zippy acidity and fine tannins. The 2024 vintage marks a significant evolution, with earlier harvesting introducing an enhanced freshness, thanks to two years of beneficial rainfall that balanced the vineyards.
