Tasting Notes

Sourced from Piekenierskloof, Lourens Family Wines Skuinskap Steen 2022 is  one of South Africa's finest fine Chenin's, renowned for its minerality and structure. Exciting to drink, with so much energy.

More Info

Franco Lourens spent some years working with the great Chris Alheit before setting to focus entirely on his own range of wines. This is a breathtakingly self-assured range and in just a few vintages, places Franco into the very top bracket of top-end New Wave SA producers. Whilst still extremely modest, he is inevitably set to join the likes of Chris Alheit, Eben Sadie, Adi Badenhorst, Duncan Savage et alia in the shimmering constellation of New Wave South African stars. Sharing cellar space with good friend Lukas Van Loggerenberg, Franco works with a variety of sites across the Western Cape including the country's oldest Verdelho vineyard, and two exceptional sites in Piekenierskloof.

FROM THE PRESS

“The 2022 Chenin Blanc Skuinskap Steen Single Vineyard is whole bunch pressed with ten months in used oak. It has a fresh and delineated bouquet that doesn't quite deliver the complexity of the Linda Carien by direct comparison. The palate is well-balanced with a tangy opening, hints of Japanese yuzu and orange rind, then stem ginger lending spiciness on the finish. What you call "a grower". Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035. 92 points.”
Neal Martin, August 2023, Vinous.com
