Testalonga Mielie Magenta Grenache Noir 2025, 750ml—

A red made for a hot Swartland afternoon. Light-bodied, textured and fresh, the Mielie Magenta is Grenache Noir at its most easy-going. Bright fruit, a gentle savoury edge, naturally fermented on its skins with just a touch of SO₂ at bottling. Serve it slightly chilled and it comes alive.

About Testalonga

Testalonga is Craig Hawkins' boundary-pushing take on South African wine. Crafted from organically and biodynamically farmed grapes, these natural wines are made with minimal intervention to let the fruit and terroir shine. The result is a bold, characterful range that happily does things differently.
