The wine is made from the second oldest red wine vineyard in the country. The vineyard was plated in 1932 by Koos Lötter on his farm located in Franschhoek. These old bush vines are dryland farmed and produces exceptional fruit. The soils are decomposed granite with under laying sandstone which gives this wine its elegance and finesse.
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.
Producer Profile
‘There is a luxuriousness and generosity to Lukas’s 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 not out to produce replicas of these wines. His aim is to create great South African wines – quality is paramount.’ David Clarke, Ex Animo.
