“Along with the leg brace motif and the ponderous man reflecting the challenges we overcame in the early vintages, in the silhouette of the head we see False Bay and Table Mountain. From the vineyard on Danie Carinus’ farm – the source of half the grapes – you can see the ocean and the mountain, both of which play a massive role in the fresher style of this variety we produce. The strelitzia flower pays tribute to a beautiful bed that grows outside our new cellar, while both images of birds are local species with bright plumage that we love.”

Label story:

“As the name suggests, Lukas had to undergo two big knee surgeries in our first harvest season as is shown by the leg in a brace on the label and the silhouette of the man plotting his next move. With the help of great friends and family it all came together in the end and this wine is a celebration of hard times that you have to overcome and to never give up.  In the same way one wishes a performer to “break a leg” the name celebrates all the hard work we put in to achieve our goals.  The protea on the stamp emphasizes our South African heritage while the tortoise symbolizes the speed at which Lukas was able to work during that first harvest.  The donkey shown is a tongue in cheek reminder of how stubborn Lukas was in not compromising on doing any of the work himself despite not being as mobile as he would have liked to be.”
