About Noble Vice

What started out as a collaboration between friends in 2017 to share their love for the Noble Vices of Food and Wine, has blossomed into an annual festival for the most talented young and established winemakers in RSA to exhibit their yearly harvests and all the stories they hold. Most importantly, we all share the ethos of respect for mother earth - minimal intervention, natural and sustainable wine making is non-negotiable.  

About the Wines

Noble Vice Orange is an 8-day skin contact Chenin Blanc from the Swartland, with nothing added and therefore nothing taken away.

Noble Vice Red is a blend of 61% Cinsaut, 22% Carignan and 17% Mourvèdre from the Swartland. The grapes were whole bunch fermented and aged for 10 months in 500L old barrels.

About the Winemaker:

TESTALONGA wines was established in 2008 by Craig and Carla Hawkins, who are recognised as a pioneers in the orange and natural wine scene in South Africa.  They seek purity, precision and brightness in their wines and only work with organic vineyards that can produce high-quality grapes ensuring that there is minimal need for intervention in the cellar. 

It was only fitting that we collaborated with them for our maiden release of Noble Vice Wines with only 306 bottles of each wine produced.
