Tasting Notes

This is a serious wine, with an earthy, dark-fruited nose. It has a core of plum, cherries, wet earth, and black pepper. The tannins are finely interwoven with the extra long finish. Beautiful.

The Producer

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.

Label story: “We named the the wine Lötter to give tribute to Koos Lötter who planted this beautiful vineyard in 1932. On the label there are pictures of plums and peaches which is predominantly planted on the farm. There’s also an image of a father teaching his son how to plant young vines, this is to showcase skills and experiences being passed on to the next generation. The big Fleur de Lis sign at the back of the label is too show the origin of this vineyard which is in Franschhoek, where the French settlers made there home and started farming in the late 17th century.”

Vinification

All grapes were left to ferment naturally with one punch down performed daily. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak. The wine was racked once after MLF and stayed in the oak for 10 months. No enzymes or commercial yeast was used in making the wines
