Testalonga The Dark Side Syrah is a new wine in the Testalonga stable of natural wines. Craig Hawkins is developing his private vineyard holdings and his range of grape varieties. The Dark Side (suitably labelled in cool bottle!) is pure Syrah but not as you would expect in South Africa. Craig uses the wild yeasts and lees to add minerality and texture to a wine of poise and freshness. It has classic dark fruits and spice, what you expect from Syrah but its acidity and backbone add something extra.
