Van Loggerenberg Lötter Cinsaut 2025
R702.00
The wine is made from the second-oldest red wine vineyard in the country. The vineyard was planted in 1932 by Koos Lötter on his farm located in Franschhoek. These old bush vines are dryland farmed and really produce exceptional fruit. The soils are decomposed granite with underlying sandstone, which gives this wine its elegance and finesse.
The grapes were 100% whole bunch. All grapes were left to ferment naturally, with one punch down performed daily. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation in 3rd-fill 500l French oak barrels. The wine was racked once after MLF and stayed in the oak for 10 months. No enzymes or commercial yeast were used in making the wines.

Description
“We named the wine after Koos Lötter, who planted this beautiful vineyard in 1932. On the label there are pictures of plums and peaches, which are widely planted on the farm. There’s also an image of a father teaching his son how to plant young vines, showcasing skills and experiences being passed on to the next generation. On the top right corner there is a diagram of a concrete tank which we use to age this beautiful wine in and shows the movement of the lees through the design of these tanks. The Fleur de Lis sign in the background symbolises the origin of the wine in Franschhoek, home to French Huguenots who played a big role in the history of South African wine.” – Lukas Van Loggerenberg
