About this Item
Graft 2018
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
'The name has several meanings to me. It is not only a reminder of some sage advice from my grandfather who always told me that if you want to make a success of something you need to put in the hard yards and graft (depicted by the man working in the top left hand corner). The word also refers to how two individual parts can be grafted together to form a stronger and more meaningful whole as shown by the vines being grafted in the image. The honeybee and finch are both very hardworking and despite not always knowing if what they are doing will work, still graft and get it done. The stamp is a reference to our South African heritage.' - Lukas van Loggerenberg

Critics Ratings
'Graft is produced from the same block as Reenen Borman's Sons of Sugarland Syrah - he and Lukas van Loggerenberg are great friends - and provides further proof that it's a great site. Peppery, sappy and very lightly wooded, it has fynbos and garrigue scents and thrilling poise and finesse. 2021-28’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
