Lukas Van Loggerenberg

The Climb

Elsenburg gave Lukas Van Loggerenberg the technical base; a later move into the cellar at a large estate in South Africa put that training under working conditions and widened the frame of his winemaking. The shift from school to estate cellar marks the progression in the craft: formal study, then repetition, then a broader scale of production. That early formation carries into Van Loggerenberg in Paarl, where Lukas Van Loggerenberg now works as winemaker under his own name. The role brings the Elsenburg foundation and estate experience into a single practice.
