Lukas van Loggerenberg. The name is quite a mouthful - but then, so are his wines!
Despite owning no vineyards, he has managed to make quite an impact since we first tasted his Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Cinsault a few years back.
Devoted to expressing particular patches of earth, Lukas reminds visitors to his makeshift cellar that terroir is not everything and that some winemakers just have the touch and an instinct to make great wine. He likes to think of himself as “a farmer rather than a winemaker”.
All Lukas's wines are made without the aid of any additives, including commercial yeast.
