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 isinevitably set to join the likes of Chris Alheit, Eben Sadie, Adi Badenhorst, Duncan Savageet aliain 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.
