Franco Lourens Lua Ilse 2023

"Grenache can run away with you if you work it too hard," says Franco Lourens, but that's not
the case on this elegant, yet well-structured example from a sandstone-dominated vineyard
at 650 metres in Piekenierskloof. Fermented with 25% stems, it's a graceful, energetic red
with layers of wild strawberry, plum and rooibos tea and some savoury intrigue. 2026-33
