Breton Cabernet Franc 2023

In the vineyards:
The wine is made up of two parcels, one vineyard planted in 2004 and the other in 2008. The fruit is picked and vinified separately and only blended before bottling. Both vineyards are planted on decomposed granite with Koffieklip in the top layer of soil.

Label story:
The name Breton is from the old French name in the Loire for Cabernet Franc. We chose this name as it was in the Loire valley that we made the final decision to start Van Loggerenberg Wines. The silhouette of the woman symbolizes the elegance of Cabernet Franc and is emphasized again by the Percheron horse. This breed is always perceived as this rough brute of a horse but in my view is very elegant and, in that way, like Cabernet Franc to me - firm but with great elegance to it. The landmark on the label is in the Bluegum Grove vineyard used in the wine, which was the only vineyard in the first vintage of 2016.
