2016 Chenin Blanc 'Kameraderie', Lukas van Loggerenberg

2016 Chenin Blanc 'Kameraderie', Lukas van Loggerenberg

Produced from a dry-farmed plot of bush vines planted in 1960, this is a beguiling debut vintage Chenin. There’s ripe pear and lemon curd on the nose, with a delicate backing of toast and almond. A superb effort, but in short supply: only four barrels were produced.

Tasting notes

The best of Lukas van Loggerenberg’s current releases, this comes from a two-hectare block planted in 1960. Beeswax, pear and apple flavours, leesy weight and pithy, mineral-edged acidity: this is quite a début.
