2022 Blank Bottle Luuks
£35.00
“A cooler, south-facing, organically farmed vineyard on the Navarre farm is the origin of this stony, intense, wonderfully focused Helderberg Chardonnay. Deftly wooded in 25% new barrels, it’s a steely, stony, well-structured white of considerable poise and complexity.”

Product Description
Luuks – it keeps getting better and better! Now in its third release, this is at first smoky and tense, coupled with just the right level of opulence – clotted cream, crunchy biscuits and chiffon cake, white flowers and buttered toast too. Very broad and long. So well-balanced, and with a long future ahead of it. The name comes from the barrel it was aged in: the first ever new barrel that Pieter bought. Luuks roughly translates from Afrikaans to ‘lux’ or ‘luxury’ in English and it became a bit of a nickname for this wine aged in their fancy new barrel.
