Franco Lourens grew up in Paarl in the Western Cape of South Africa. His grandfather grew wine grapes but the wine bug skipped a generation until Franco became fascinated with it. After attending the University of Stellenbosch, he set off to California, where he worked in Sonoma. When he returned to South Africa, he spent many years working with Chris Alheit, a famed winemaker. Now, Franco works out of the Brookdale Estate cellar in Paarl, where he launched Lourens Family Wines with the intention of showcasing a host of different terroirs.
This wine honors John’s father, Howard. This wine is ripe with crunchy berries and a springy tannin structure. Barrel fermented.
