From 62-year-old dry-farmed bush vines in the foothills of South Africa’s Piketberg Mountain, Keep on Punching is Testalonga’s fresh yet layered take on Chenin Blanc. Fermented with native yeast in old oak and stainless steel, this wine is made with minimal intervention and maximum personality. Light on its feet but with real depth, it’s a go-to bottle for everyday drinking that punches well above its weight.

The Producer

About Testalonga

Craig & Carla Hawkins are the proud owners of TESTALONGA, a venture that took root in 2008 with the inception of their inaugural wine, a Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc. Operating from rented 11 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards nestled within the granite soils of the Paardeberg, along with an additional 4 hectares situated on the Sandstone soils of the Piketberg, TESTALONGA remains deeply rooted in its commitment to natural winemaking practices. In 2015, the acquisition of Bandits Kloof farm in the slate-rich northern mountains of the Swartland marked a significant milestone. Here, the couple embarked on a new journey, focusing on cultivating Mediterranean grape varieties, with the first vineyards planted in 2018.
