Geronimo’ Cinsault 2021, Lukas Van Loggerenberg Wines, Paarl

An expressive bouquet displaying cherries, plums, herbs and spice plus a little earthiness. Bold in body with lovely fruit expression, fresh acidity and fine tannins, the finish long and dry.

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. “For me, freshness and purity are paramount. I want to express the vineyard sites with elegance, balance and bags of flavour – Lukas van Loggerenberg, Winemaker.

The wine is made from an old vine vineyard planted on the farm Rustenhof in the Firgrove area.These bush vines are dryland farmed. The soils are decomposed granite with under laying sandstone which gives this wine its elegance and finesse. The grapes were 40% whole bunch fermented.All grapes were left to ferment naturally with one punch down performed daily. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel. The barrels were blended together after 9 months in old French oak barrels and bottled right after.
