Van Loggerenberg Graft Syrah 2023

R668.00

The Syrah vineyard used to produce this wine is planted on Karibib Farm and farmed by Jozua Joubert. The vineyard is planted on a steep south-facing slope of the Polkadraai Hills at an elevation of approximately 290m.

The fruit was 100% whole bunch fermented and left to start fermenting naturally with one punch down performed daily. After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel (17%) and Italian concrete (83%). The components were blended after 10 months of ageing and bottled right after. No enzymes or commercial yeast was used in making the wines.

ANALYSIS: ALC 13% | RS 1.8 g/l | TA 5 g/l | pH 3.7

Description

“The name has several meanings to me. It is not only a reminder of some sage advice from my grandfather who always told me that if you want to make a success of something you need to put in the hard yards and graft (depicted by the man working in the top left hand corner). The word also refers to how two individual parts can be grafted together to form a stronger and more meaningful whole as shown by the vines being grafted in the image. The honeybee and finch are both very hardworking and despite not always knowing if what they are doing will work, they still graft and get it done. The stamp is a reference to our South African heritage.” – Lukas Van Loggerenberg
