Van Loggerenberg Wines
Lukas Van Loggerenberg is a true Afrikaner born of the Breedekloof wine valley and a man of incredible charm. He now makes his wines in the Devon Valley sourcing most of his fruit from Stellenbosch with important parcels coming from Paarl and Swartland. His wines are ones of generosity and depth but retain an incredible and residing finesse. Take his Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc for example they are inspired by a region close to his heart - the Loire Valley. While emulating certain traits of elegance and liner restraint he does not strive to produce replicas of these wines but rather to produce the best possible South African wines he can.
Description
"From Paardeberg, 85% from vineyard planted in 1966 (Lammershoek) and 15% from a vineyard planted in 1967, the former fermented and matured in concrete tank, the latter in old oak. Quince, citrus, peach, potpourri, herbs and a little leesy complexity. The palate is powerful yet impeccably proportioned, with dense fruit counterbalanced by punchy acidity before an intensely savoury finish of remarkable persistence. Substantial yet elegant, combining concentration and poise to compelling effect. Alc: 13.1%." Christian Eedes
