Trust Your Gut Chenin Blanc

This wine pairs well with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster or scallops, as well as dishes featuring creamy textures or root vegetables​.

This Chenin Blanc is sourced from two regions: 60% from old bush vines on decomposed granite in the Paardeberg (Swartland) and 40% from vines on granite in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. This blend combines the elegance and structure from the Swartland with the depth and fruit concentration from Stellenbosch​.

The wine aged for 10 months in third-fill French oak barrels, allowing for subtle oak integration that enhances texture while preserving the wine’s fruit-driven profile​.

The grapes were whole-bunch pressed, and fermentation began in stainless steel tanks with wild yeast, preserving the wine’s character. The wine was then transferred to third-fill 500-liter French oak barrels, where it aged on its primary lees for 10 months without any batonnage, enhancing texture and complexity without overt oak influence​.

Lukas van Loggerenberg makes his wines in Stellenbosch’s Devon Valley, sourcing fruit primarily from Stellenbosch with select parcels from Paarl and the Swartland. His wines balance generosity and depth with finesse, with varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc drawing inspiration from the Loire Valley while remaining distinctly South African expressions of their vineyards.
