WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

Young vine Cinsault. The vines are planted on the Strydom family homestead in Stellenbosch.
It’s the first ever monovarietal Cinsault to be released by The Liberator.
If anything, Rick is asking, nay pleading, that Liberator followers allow the wine to age for a good year or two in the bottle before it is breached, although he suspects that with only 672 bottles in circulation, few examples will ever make it to true adulthood.

ABOUT THE WINERY

Beyond the periphery of South Africa’s conventional vineyard regions lie great vinous treasures, resigned to anonymity; forgotten, abandoned or just simply undiscovered. it is the mission of Rick, our intrepid Cape Crusader, to seek out and liberate these rare wines, consigning them to the table of the most inquisitive and discerning imbiber. Each episode represents a precious parcel that is both unique and finite.
on his regular jaunts around the Cape, seeing the number of great wines that are resigned to a tragic fate of being blended away or disposed of in bulk confounded Rick. It might be an occasional experimental batch, or possible an interesting off-cut from some proud winemakers latest premium release. Whatever their provenance, it’s Ricks mission as The Liberator to procure these precious vinous orphans and consign them to a better home.
Inevitably, each wine discovered by The Liberator comes with its own story; a tale of its untimely existence. Every release has its testimony recounted, in a bottle and on screen, as a unique and evocative episode.
