Van Loggerenberg
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
The 2020 vintage of Trust Your Gut Chenin Blanc features notes of citrus and peach, with subtle background hints of struck match, wet wool, and talcum powder. The palate is concentrated and compact, showcasing bracing acidity and a lingering mineral finish. The wine's precision and balance offer a nuanced experience, described by some as reminiscent of high-quality white Burgundy.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster or scallops, as well as dishes featuring creamy textures or root vegetables.
