About this Item

2016 El Bandito Lords of Dogtown
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

From vines planted in 1981 and then abandoned until three years ago. Now organically grown, not very productive (20 hl/ha) but capable of yielding excellent fruit. Grapes harvested by hand then fermented after a 100% whole cluster pressing in old 500 litre barrels.

Provenance

Restaurant Mosaic

Critics Ratings

'From a 1971 Chenin Blanc vineyard. Dried herbs, flowers, apple and peach. Lovely fruit concentration and texture, tangy acidity and a savoury finish.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100 (Nov 2016)
