About this Item

Liberté Pinotage, 2015
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

A partnership between cousins Bruwer Raats (a Strauss auction favourite) and Gavin Bruwer Slabbert who are on a pursuit to discover unique parcels of vineyards that 'celebrate the rich heritage of the Cape' with heirloom varieties like Hanepoot (Muscat d'Alexandrie), Chenin Blanc and of course home-grown Pinotage. The philosophy behind the craft is a lightness of touch that expresses the unique identities of these special sites.

The Liberté Pinotage is from certified old vines in Stellenbosch.

Notes

Due to time constraints set upon us with the COVID-19 Lockdown no original bottle shots were taken.

Critics Ratings

'Abundant red fruit & surprisingly (for Pinotage) delicate, light mouthfeel. 2015 a clear step up with more finesse and intensity. Generous tannins round off a master-crafted example of the grape.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*

'If you like elegant, understated wines, you’ll love what Gavin Bruwer is doing at B Vintners. This spicy, refined, lowish alcohol red is all about focus and freshness, with Pinot Noir-like sweetness, roundness from older oak ageing and tangy, berry fruit flavours.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 91 Points
