2024 Baby Bandito Stay Brave

From the acclaimed natural winemaker Craig Hawkins of Testalonga in South Africa, comes "Stay Brave" 2024, a stunning orange wine from his Baby Bandito line. This skin-contact Chenin Blanc is a pure expression of the Swartland region's granite terroir, made from a bush vine block planted back in 1981. The grapes are fermented on their skins for 11 days before being pressed, and the wine is aged in old oak barrels and foudres, resulting in a vibrant and fresh wine with minimal intervention and no added yeast or additives.

Aroma & Palate | A fresh, rustic and easy-drinking orange wine with notes of citrus peel, dried herbs, and a savory earthiness. The palate is dry and textured, with a pleasant grip from the skin contact and a clean, refreshing finish.
