‘There is a luxuriousness and generosity to Lukas’s wines, but certainly not at the expense of balance or finesse. A total Loire Valley fanatic, both Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc are close to his heart. While Lukas is inspired by the likes of Touraine, Saumur, Chinon and Vouvray, he is not out to produce replicas of these wines. His aim is to create great South African wines – quality is paramount.’ David Clarke, Ex Animo.
