Why You'll Love It
Fresh, fragrant Cabernet Franc with a serious side. Redcurrant and dark cherry meet leafy herbs and a touch of graphite, with fine tannins giving the fruit a savoury edge. It has the poise for roast duck, the grip for lamb and plenty to offer alongside mushrooms.
About The Producer
Lukas and Roxanne van Loggerenberg released their first wines in 2016. After training at Elsenburg and working harvests in South Africa and the United States, Lukas was inspired by a visit to France to start his own project. Close relationships with growers give him access to distinctive Cape vineyards, while gentle handling and spontaneous fermentation preserve the freshness and character of each site. Breton reflects his particular affection for Loire Cabernet Franc.
Winemaking Information
100% Cabernet Franc from two Stellenbosch vineyard parcels in Lynedoch and the Polkadraai Hills. Fermentation uses indigenous yeasts, without commercial yeast or enzymes. The parcels are matured separately before blending, with the wine spending around ten months in a combination of concrete and seasoned 500-litre French oak barrels. No new oak is used. Bottled at 13.5% ABV.
