Van Loggerenberg Wines is a family-run winery based in Paarl, making low-intervention, site-specific wines from vineyards mainly in the Stellenbosch and Swartland appellations. Started in 2016 by Lukas and wife Roxanne, their range has risen to ten and all wines capture, via minimal intervention, the freshness, elegance and purity which lie at the heart of Lukas’ philosophy. Lukas grew up in Rawsonville in the Breederivier valley, and was always surrounded by vineyards and wine. While he is inspired by the likes of Touraine, Saumur, Chinon and Vouvray, he is certainly not out to produce replicas of these wines – his aim is to create great South African wines. Each wine and it’s name has a specific story behind it and his wines have become extremely sought-after.
Van Loggerenberg Wines Break a Leg Blanc de Noir 2021
R180.00
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 that you have to overcome and to never give up. 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.
