Parched + Les Caves de Pyrene Present: Back Vintage Banditos

We've been huge fans of Testalonga for a long time here at Parched. When we received some back vintage stuff from them, we knew what we had to do. 

Fionn and J are gonna be taking you through a journey of Testalonga's best vintages of their top wines; starting at 2012, then a few vintages til 2024. Only 15 tickets avaliable, so get em while they last. 

In 2008, after many years making wine all over the globe, Craig and Carla Hawkins started Testalonga in Swartland, South Africa.  All of the fruit comes from dry-farmed, organic sites. The wines are made with as little manipulation as possible – in good years it’s as simple as picking, pressing, waiting, watching and bottling with nothing added at any stage.

Here are the details:
