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 overcome. 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 emphasises our South African heritage while the tortoise symbolises the speed at which Lukas was able to work during that first harvest. The donkey 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.
The 2021 Lukas van Loggerenberg Break a Leg Rosé is a fresh and elegant wine from Stellenbosch, made from Cinsault grapes. It is fermented in stainless steel and old French oak, with natural fermentation and malolactic fermentation for added complexity. The wine has vibrant acidity, a touch of salty minerality from the coastal vineyard, and a subtle, refreshing finish. It pairs well with light seafood or salads.

"The sixth vintage of this sophisticated Rose but the first use of this 29-year-old Helderberg located vineyard planted on soft, sandy decomposed granite just above the Craven Cinsault vineyard owned by Pieter Bredell. Several pickings make up the final wine which is fermented in old oak which removes the New World tooty fruity Rosimage001.png character to expose the more grown-up serious side of the wine a la Provencal Rose wines. The nose if loaded with aromatics of wet granite, sun dried strawberries, oyster shells and pithy red cherry with a saline, dusty dried herb sapidity. Cool, textured and quite glycerol in the mouth, this wine has lovely intensity and a fine precision, finishing with purity and a dry minerality. Another fabulous gastronomic Rose wine." – Greg Sherwood MW.
