Product information "Van Loggerenberg Breton Cabernet Franc 2018"
The Van Loggerenberg Breton Cabernet Franc was pressed in the classic Loire style and embodies uncommonly fine elegance in this nuanced Cabernet Franc style. Its penetrating perfume, velvety tannin and graceful finish make for an unforgettable pleasure experience.
The name "Breton" comes from the Loire and is the original French name for the grape variety Cabernet Franc. Lukas van Loggerenberg chose the name Breton for his wine because the decision to found Van Loggerenberg Wines was made during a stay in Loire. The silhouette of the woman on the label symbolizes the elegance of Cabernet Francs and is again taken up by the elegance of the Percheron horse. The horse breed is often misunderstood as a raw and coarse race, whereas in fact, similar to the Cabernet Franc, it embodies uncommon elegance.

50% of the grapes fermented all over the bunch. The destemmed grapes spent two weeks on the skin after the alcoholic fermentation was completed, in order to obtain a nice depth on the middle palate. The pomace cap was only submerged once a day. After pressing, the wines separately completed the malolactic fermentation in the barrel. After 10 months of aging in the barrel, the wines were blended and bottled. Neither enzymes nor commercial yeasts were used to produce this wine.
