Van Loggerenberg Graft

R695.00 incl VAT

The name has several meanings to me. It is not only a reminder of some sage advice from my grandfather who always told me that if you want to make a success of something you need to put in the hard yards and graft (depicted by the man working in the top left hand corner). The word also refers to how two individual parts can be grafted together to form a stronger and more meaningful whole as shown by the vines being grafted in the image. The honeybee and finch are both very hardworking and despite not always knowing if what they are doing will work, still graft and get it done. The stamp is a reference to our South African heritage.

Description

Graft Syrah 2022:
Grapes from the fabled Karibib property in Polkadraai Hills. 100% whole-bunch fermented. Matured in a combination of barrel and concrete tank for 10 months. Super-complex aromatics of red and black berries, potpourri, dried herbs and white pepper. The palate is medium bodied with fresh acidity and powdery tannins. As with many wines from 2022, this wine doesn’t have the same fruit density as the previous vintage and is already quite open – hugely pleasurable all the same. Abv: 14%. Christian Eedes’ rating: 95/100.
