**Cape Town, South Africa** – Lovane Boutique Wine Estate, the small wine estate on the edge of Stellenbosch, is thrilled to share the remarkable news of its achievement at the prestigious Veritas Awards. On the evening of October 15th, 2023, in a glittering ceremony, Lovane’s devoted owners, Hennie (the winemaker) and Theresa, along with their two daughters, basked in the joy of their extraordinary win – a Veritas Double Gold award for our flagship Bordeaux-style Isikhati 2020.

Hennie, who embarked on his winemaking adventure when his family took ownership of the estate in 2014, had no more than a decade of experience in the world of wine. His dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional wines have now been recognised on a grand scale. In a David and Goliath tale, Lovane Boutique Wine Estate, the smallest gem in the Stellenbosch crown, clinched the coveted Double Gold accolade. This incredible triumph is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence and passion that has defined Lovane’s journey. It is also an acknowledgement to the countless number of friends, neighbours, viticulturists, and other oenology experts who encouraged and supported the Lovane team up to this point.

With this Veritas Double Gold award, Lovane Boutique Wine Estate marks a milestone. The estate stands tall as a symbol of determination, showcasing that where there is a will, there is a way. Hennie and Theresa’s vision, passion, and dedication will undoubtedly continue to push the boundaries of winemaking, offering wine enthusiasts exceptional experiences in every bottle.

Hennie, we salute your remarkable achievement and eagerly anticipate the extraordinary journey that lies ahead.
