Skin, Testalonga 2020 (Swartland, South Africa)

Phenomenal Chenin Blanc, sourced from a 50 year-old organic vineyard, and macerated on skins for 12 days (actually a little less than previous releases).

Heady aromatic mix of spice, citrus fruits, some minerality even, then the palate displays power and weight rather than just the backdoor bitterness of some skin contact white wines.

A wine for a big glass when you have time on your hands to savour something different.
