Lukas Van Loggerenberg Breton Cabernet Franc 2022 750ml

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 that we made the final decision to start Van Loggerenberg Wines. The silhouette of the woman symbolizes the elegance of Cabernet Franc and is emphasized again by the Percheron horse. This 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, which was the only vineyard in the first vintage of 2016.

Lukas van Loggerenberg is a Loire Valley nut, happy to pay to drink the best that the regionhas to offer and learn from his favourite producers. This is a world-class expression of thevariety, 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 shavingaromas, granite-derived freshness and a core of plum and black cherry fruit.
