Lourens Family Lua Ilse Grenache Noir
R395.00 incl VAT
Winemaker Franco Lourens has been producing wine under his own label since 2016. His philosophy is simple: “We truly believe that the special vineyards and unique sites where our grapes come from, has the biggest influence on our wines. We don’t add any yeast, acid, enzymes or fining agents and we only use older neutral oak barrels for maturation.” His total production is not very big and the brand is still relatively unknown, but it certainly shouldn’t be!
