Craig Hawkins’ Testalonga is at the forefront of South Africa’s natural wine scene, and Monkey Gone to Heaven is his boundary-pushing take on Mourvèdre. Sourced from dry-farmed Swartland vineyards, this wine is made with minimal intervention—whole-cluster fermentation, no fining or filtration, and just a tiny touch of sulfur at bottling. The result? A Mourvèdre that’s fresher, more lifted, and wildly drinkable.

Dark plum, black cherry, and wild blueberry burst from the glass, backed by cracked pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of earthy funk. The tannins are present but soft, the acidity keeps it lifted, and there’s a subtle saline quality that makes each sip even more intriguing. Best served slightly chilled, it’s a perfect match for grilled meats, charcuterie, or just good conversation. Mourvèdre, but not as you know it.
