Van Loggerenberg ‘Poppy’ Syrah 2022
R210.00
The vineyard is on Karibib farm, in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. It lays just below Graft vineyard on granite soil. Fermented with 50% wholebunch and 2 weeks on skins, then aged in 500l barrels for 11 months.
This block is right next to a poplar tree forest, so Lukas always referred to it as Populiersbos. While he was busy, he asked the harvest team to write the name on the barrel. They just wrote Poppy, and the name stuck.
100% Syrah- W.O Polkadraai Hills
Soil: Granite rich soils
Description
Lukas van Loggerenberg makes his wines on Paarl mountain, and sources most of his fruit from Stellenbosch with important parcels coming from Franschhoek and Swartland.
There is a luxuriousness and generosity to Lukas’ wines, but certainly not at the expense of balance or finesse. A total Loire Valley fanatic, both Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc are close to his heart. While Lukas is inspired by the likes of Touraine, Saumur, Chinon and Vouvray, he is certainly not out to produce replicas of these wines. He aims to create great South African wines, quality is paramount.
