Craig's approach to winemaking has always been a little different, favouring organic vineyards, gentle extraction and wines with plenty of freshness. His Baby Bandito range captures that philosophy particularly well, offering some seriously good drinking without needing a special occasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChin Up is a blend of 90% Cinsault and 10% Tannat from dry-farmed bush vines planted in 1981 on the granite soils of the Paardeberg. The grapes are fermented together, with two weeks of gentle extraction, before the wine spends 11 months on fine lees in a large concrete tank. The little addition of Tannat is particularly clever, bringing extra acidity and structure without taking away from the lovely delicate character of Cinsault.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a beautifully juicy, light-bodied red with plenty of fresh fruit, a little crunch and just enough tannin to keep things interesting. Nothing heavy, nothing overworked, just a really delicious glass of wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive it a little time in the fridge and enjoy it slightly chilled. Exactly the sort of red we want around for the Australian summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50932134576321,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Testalonga_Baby_Bandito_Chin_Up_2025.png?v=1794283806","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/testalonga-baby-bandito-chin-up-2025","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
