Van Loggerenberg, Breton Cabernet Franc, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2023
Viticulture
The wine is made up of two Stellenbosch vineyard parcels, 75% destemmed fruit from Lynedoch and 25% whole-bunch from Polkadraai Hills.
Winemaking
100% destemmed, after pressing, the two parcels underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel on their own. The two components were blended after 10 months in barrel and bottled right after. No enzymes or commercial yeast was used in making the wines. 45% of the wine was aged in concrete and the rest in 500L old French oak barrels.
Tasting Note
The nose shows fresh herbs, violet, and fynbos, with layers of red and black berries, damson, and a touch of earth. It’s light on its feet but serious in style, with juicy acidity, clean fruit, and a dry, grippy finish that keeps things fresh and focused.
