Proefkonyn means Guinea Pig, as in testing. This is a 100% Verdelho from Stellenbosch.
One of winemaker Franco Lourens’ favourite varieties. South African Verdelho exhibits softer tropical fruit flavours.
Lourens Family ‘Proefkonyn’ Verdelho 2023

Franco Lourens is based in Paarl and makes his wines in the same cellar as Lukas van Loggerenberg. Previously he was Chris Alheit’s assistant.
He sources fruit from Stellenbosch, Swartland, and in particular Piekenierskloof for his wines.
“Poenie”, as he more widely known, is one of the industry’s ‘Nice Guys’. He always has a smile on his face and is never too far from a laugh and a joke.
Make no mistake though, when it comes to wine, Poenie is totally quality-obsessed. While this means that the wines are superb (see below), it also means that the quantities can be frustratingly small.
