Van Loggerenberg ‘High Hopes’ Syrah 2025
R390.00
The 2025 vintage is the first one where we felt the gravitas of the Syrah was of such a nature that we didn’t need to add the Grenache portion we would have usually included. The product is a wine that is unapologetically Swartland, Shist and Whole-bunch.
The grapes are planted on schist soils, and the vineyard carrying around 2,5 tons/Ha, which led to a wine that is deeply concentrated. The Syrah was 100% whole-bunch fermented and was aged in big 500-litre barrels. One punch down was done performed daily to ensure the grapes are treated as gently as possible.

Description
This wine about discovering new places and reaching new heights. The three leaves on the right showcase the number of cultivars in the blend while the school bag, athlete and fisherman all suggest how we always have high hopes when we try something new or when we go out to achieve something great. Lukas is also a keen fisherman who always has high hopes when he goes out for the day with the hopes of catching dinner. In the background is Lukas’s profile with a map of the Swartland with the wheat also symbolizing the origin of the wine as it is widely cultivated in the Swartland. The wheat stalk has also been added to give tribute to the Swartland where a lot of wheat is the main crop for most farmers. In the summer, when the wheat harvest has been removed from the fields, the dormant fields give the countryside it’s “black” look and that’s where the term Swartland hails from.
