Van Loggerenberg 'Break a Leg' Stellenbosch Merlot 2023

$0

The name of this wine pays tribute to Lukas’ first vintage in 2016. Lukas had to undergo two big knee surgeries in his first harvest, which is symbolized 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. This wine is a celebration of the hard times that you have to overcome and reminder to never give up. In the same way one wishes a performer to “break a leg”, the name celebrates all the hard work to achieve said goals. All grapes were destemmed and fermented naturally with one long pump over everyday for 3 weeks. The fermented grapes were lightly pressed and the wine went through MLF in 3rd fill French barriques. After 11 months, the wines were racked and received their a sulfur addition. The wine was bottled with a coarse filtration and light sulfur addition. No fining.
