Delivery Information

Produced from grapes in the Blauklippen Valley just below Keermont, Chris Alheit found this block of dry-farmed Merlot and alerted Lukas to it. Red clay and granite soils. Extractions are gentle, favouring pumpovers rather than pigeage. 2nd and 3rd fill French oak. Bottled 22nd December

Lucas is one of the latest additions to the club of, what is called, the 'New Wave': young producers who exploit the old vines and fabulous vineyards of the Cape. His debut vintage was 2016 and is already making a significant reputation for himself and his wines. His first job was at Rijk’s in Tulbagh, after he graduated from Elsenburg college. Then, after spending two seasons on the Finger Lakes on the eastern side of the USA, he returned home to work at the relatively obscure Druk My Niet wine estate in Paarl. It was in late 2015 during a visit to France, that he made the decision to switch from being a salary-earner and into the terrifying if inevitable world of making his own wine.
