Lourens Family Vineyards
Franco Lourens is based in Paarl. He sources fruit from Stellenbosch, Swartland, and in particular Piekenierskloof for his wines. “Poenie”, as he more widely known, is one of the industry’s ‘Nice Guys’. He always has a smile on his face and is never too far from a laugh and a joke. Make no mistake though, when it comes to wine, Poenie is totally quality-obsessed. While this means that the wines are superb (see below), it also means that the quantities can be frustratingly small.
Description
Supple, rounded and elegant, but with lots of flavour. Sweet cherries, olives and pepper. Juicy and lively with a nice damson twist on the finish.
Food Pairing
Best paired with cured meats, pork fillet, hearty pastas, or to accompany a simple meal of fine cheeses, olive and a charcuterie platter.
