As usual the fruit here is all juicy red apple with mouth-watering tart cherry. Throw this one on ice and try to make it last more than 15 minutes. Find out more.
Stay Brave is the orange wine of the Baby Bandito bunch - it is Chenin Blanc with a week or so of skin maceration, followed by some rounding out in old barrels. It is the ying to the yang of Keep On Punching; softer structure, still with lots of zesty acidity, but other notes like ripe pear and spicy ginger starting to show too. Like all of the Baby Bandito range, this wine gives a lot for very little!
After travelling extensively in Portugal and Austria learning his craft, Craig Hawkins returned to South Africa and became the winemaker at top Swartland estate Lammershoek. Craig now makes his own Testalonga wines from various small, organic vineyard sites in Swartland and makes everything naturally, with as little intervention as possible. 'Baby Bandito' is his easy drinking, entry-level range.
