BLANKbottle Luuks 2020

Luuks means luxury in Afrikaans, and this was the first wine with which Pieter had ever used new oak. It's a real delight: lots of spicy notes from that oak, but it's retained the texture and focus we love in Pieter's wines.

This wine, made in that brand new purchase, is the perfect balance between opulence and freshness. The nose is of white acacia flower and clotted cream. The palate opens with honey and buttered toast. A little warm candied ginger on the finish rounds things up perfectly.
