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
On the palate, it presents a profile of yellow fruits with a clean, energetic character that might be reminiscent of a Chenin
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled seafood, sushi, roasted vegetables, light poultry dishes and Mediterranean-style cuisine. The wine’s acidity and freshness also complement lightly spiced dishes.
