The Lourens Family Lindi Carien 2024 is a brilliant Western Cape white blend. Winemaker Franco Lourens crafts this wine from special vineyards across the region. This vintage features Chenin Blanc, Verdelho, and Colombar. Grapes were sourced from Piekenierskloof, Swartland, and Stellenbosch. Colombar replaces Grenache Blanc in this 2024 vintage blend.
Exotic aromatics of pear, peach, and orange blossom greet the nose. You will find pineapple, spice, and potpourri notes in the background. The palate is rich and boasts terrific flavor. It shows excellent texture due to a light skin maceration on a portion of the wine. Tangy, energetic acidity keeps the profile clean and focused. The savory finish offers a lightly grippy texture. Franco Lourens is renowned for his skills as a master blender. This wine is complex, food-friendly, and promises a great evolution in the cellar.
