About this Item

2019 El Bandito Sweet Cheeks
5 (1 x 5) 750ml

The name "Sweet Cheeks" for Testalonga's skin-contact Muscat d'Alexandrie is both playful and personal-very much in line with the quirky, irreverent naming style of Craig Hawkins, the winemaker behind Testalonga.

Critics Ratings

'Grapes from a 1952 Paardeberg vineyard. Fermented on the skins for 10 days. Very attractive aromatics with notes of flowers, mint and other herbs plus citrus and white peach. Light and fresh on the palate, the finish providing a slight saline impression.'

- Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za (Dec 2019)
