About this Item
Van Loggerenberg Wines was started by Lukas and wife Roxanne with their first vintage in 2016. The 2020 vintage is the fifth release for Lukas – a rising star, Young Gun and 2018 Young Winemaker of the Year by Tim Atkin. Lukas grew up in Rawsonville in the Breederivier valley, and was always surrounded by vineyards and wine. His wines are produced in the Devon Valley and the grapes are sourced from Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland. Each wine and it’s name has a specific story behind it and his wines have become extremely sought-after.
I sourced grapes from special vineyards to use in this blend, which I believe is a great example of a wine that is made up of components that together are greater than the sum of its individual parts. Sometimes you just have to trust your gut to tell you what the right move is — and all the pictures on the label are in some way suggestive of that instinct. Like a compass provides direction to a sailor or how a bee instinctively knows where it has to go to find pollen and make honey. The stamp is to emphasize our South African heritage.

Critics Ratings
‘Widely sourced 2017 Chenin more immediately charming, lighter-feeling in youth than Kameradarie, only a touch less complex and intense. Very fine, with stony angularity and notable lemony acidity. Like all, natural ferment, no additives, maturation in old barrels (5 months here).’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (94/100)
'Called "trust your gut" because that's the way that Lukas van Loggerenberg decides when to pick, this is a blend of three different regions and is much more than the sum of its parts. Focused, taut and just off dry, with subtle oak, good weight, pear and quince flavours and vivid acidity. 2019-24.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 91/100
