Kurktrekker’, an Afrikaans word for ‘corkscrew’, is named after a well-known and unique mountain route, The Jonkershoek Kurktrekkers Neck, in the Jonkershoek Valley, the home of Lanzerac. The route resembles a corkscrew, hence its name, and links the first and second waterfall to the Panorama Route.

Lanzerac Cellar Master Wynand Lategan was born and bred in Stellenbosch, making him the perfect fit to create the unique Keldermeester Versameling Kurktrekker that encapsulates the spirit and heritage of the Estate
in the vineyard : The grapes for KV Kurktrekker 2023 originate from a vineyard in the Jonkershoek Valley, planted in 2021 exclusively with Cinsaut. Across all varieties, natural acidity levels were notably higher, indicating strong aging potential for the 2023 vintage. The fruit expression was pronounced, resulting in wines that are elegant, refined, and well-suited for maturation while maintaining vibrant fruit character
about the harvest: Harvesting took place on the 15th of March 2023.
in the cellar : Kurktrekker 2023 is crafted from 100% Cinsaut. Whole-bunch fermentation was carried out in open fermenters, with punch-downs twice daily. Gentle
pressing using a small basket press ensured soft, silky tannins. The wine was then matured for approximately a year in older French oak barrels before bottling.
