Product information "Lourens Family Wines Howard John 2022"
The Lourens Family John Howard is a high-end red wine cuvée in classic Rhône style. Its seductive aromatics of red cherry, strawberry, pomegranate and goji berry marry with delightful floral hints as well as notes of fynbos and black pepper. Fresh, grippy as well as strong tannins complete this stunning pleasure experience.
"Howard Johan" is named after owner and winemaker Franco Lourens' father, whose hand-drawn portrait is depicted on the bottle label.

All the grape material comes from old bush vines of the Swartland, of which 25 m fermented whole bunch. The grapes were first subjected to a gentle extraction without any addition of yeast, acid or enzymes. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for 10 months in old French oak barrels followed by coarse filtration and bottling.
