Trust Your Gut Chenin Blanc

This wine pairs well with rich seafood, mild cheeses, and dishes with earthy elements, which complement its structured, mineral-rich profile​.

The grapes are sourced from two vineyard sites: 60% from the Paardeberg in the Swartland and 40% from the Polkadraai Hills in Stellenbosch. The Paardeberg portion, planted on decomposed granite, contributes elegance and focus, while the Polkadraai section, with granitic sand soils, adds depth and ripe yellow fruit notes​.

Aged for nine months on gross lees in neutral French oak demi-muids, enhancing texture without overt oak influence​.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed and left to settle in stainless steel. Fermentation occurs in neutral 500-liter French oak demi-muids using natural yeasts, and the wine then ages on its gross lees for nine months without stirring (batonnage) to maintain its purity and minerality​.

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.
