Testalonga I Am the Ninja Chenin Blanc Pétillant Naturel 2025, 750ml—

The I Am the Ninja Chenin Blanc Pétillant Naturel 2025 is fresh, textured and gently sparkling, originating from a 64-year-old sandstone vineyard on the Piketberg Mountain. This Chenin is bottled mid-fermentation so it finishes naturally in the bottle, the old-school Méthode way. Drier than its "I Wish I Was a Ninja" sibling, and, like the dog on the label, it's serious but also playful.

• I Am the Ninja Chenin Blanc Pétillant Naturel 2025, 750ml
