Testalonga El Bandito, I Wish I Was A Ninja '21
Where: Swartland, South Africa
Grape: Columbard
This Pet Nat from South Africa is one of our all time favs. From Craig Hawkins, one of the legends (despite still in his 30s) of natural wine in South Africa, this is classic Testalonga (his winery) - easy drinking but surprising, crowd-pleasing but complex. It's off-dry (which means it's slightly sweet) with light bubbles and is basically Appletize for grown-ups.
A little something we think you should know: Pet Nat is short for the French term 'Pétillant Natural', a sparkling wine made by bottling the wine before fermentation is complete. This usually results in a softly sparkling wine (carbon dioxide is a byproduct of fermentation, and is trapped in the bottle), often slightly sweet (not all the sugar converts to alcohol), and usually lower alcohol (usually anything from 8.5% to 11%). Which makes it perfect for brunches and barbecues.
