Van Loggerenberg Wines Graft Syrah 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Polkadraai Hills
R670
‘Karibib is widely regarded as one of the Cape's unofficial Grands Crus and Lukas van Loggerenberg certainly knows how to get the best out of the site. Whole bunch fermented in concrete and 20% second-fill barrels, Graft has wild herb aromas of thyme and rosemary, structured, serious tannins, undertones of incense and white pepper and layers of blackberry, dill and damson. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 97/100
‘Grapes from Polkadraai Hills. 100% whole-bunch fermented. 83% fermented and matured for 10 months in concrete and 17% in older 500-litre barrels. Red berry, rose, dried herbs, black pepper and other spice on the nose while the palate shows good fruit definition, lively acidity and fine tannins. Poised and precise rather than powerful. Alc: 13.2%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100

| Producer information | Van Loggerenberg Wines was started by Lukas and wife Roxanne with their first vintage in 2016. The 2019 vintage is the fourth 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. ‘Pretty damn hot,’ says Christian Eedes raving about his previous releases. |
