Lourens Family Wines - Lindi Carien
Grenache Blanc, Verdelho, Rousanne & Chenin Blanc
Verdelho comes from a 21 year old block and is the oldest Verdelho block in South Africa, according to Sawis.
Franco, assistant to Chris Alheit of Alheit Vineyards, made this wine so that he could make some extra money to buy his then fiancé an engagement ring. He therefore named his wine in honour of his now ever supporting wife Lindi Carien Lourens.

Balanced acidity and vibrant flavours compliment this elegant wine.
