2022 Lukas van Loggerenberg ‘Breton’ Cabernet Franc Stellenbosch
£32.00
“Lukas van Loggerenberg is a Loire Valley nut, happy to pay to drink the best that the region has to offer and learn from his favourite producers. This is a world-class expression of the variety, combining raw material from Faure and the Polkadraai Hills. Fermented with 25% whole bunches before ageing in concrete and old wood, it has wet grass and pencil shaving aromas, granite-derived freshness and a core of plum and black cherry fruit.”

Product Description
Van Loggerenberg Wines is a family-run winery based in Paarl, making low-intervention, site-specific wines from vineyards mainly in the Stellenbosch and Swartland appellations.
“The name Breton is from the old French name in the Loire for Cabernet Franc. We chose this name as it was in the Loire valley where we made the final decision to start Van Loggerenberg Wines. The silhouette of the woman symbolises the elegance of Cabernet Franc and is emphasised again by the Percheron horse. The Percheron breed is always perceived as this rough brute of a horse but in my view is very elegant and in that way similar to Cabernet Franc to me; firm but with great elegance to it. The landmark on the label is in the Bluegum Grove vineyard used in the wine, while the stamp shows a Donnie Merino sheep, which was first cloned on Elsenburg and is symbolic of my studies there.” – Lukas van Loggerenberg
