About this Item

Chateau Libertas
Red, 1967
2 (1 x 2) 375ml

Believed to be South Africa’s oldest red blend, Chateau Libertas was established by Dr William Charles Winshaw in 1932 to introduce a lightly wooded dry red blend. It has been produced every year since. A unique blend of Cinsaut, Cabernet Sauvignon and later Pinotage, vintages such as 1940, 57 and 61 are remarkably composed and revered today, especially in 750ml bottle.

These perfectly stored half bottles, produced chiefly for consumption on trains, now offer medium-bodied elegance, aging into a true South African icon.

Sold at the 2017 Nederburg Auction for over R3000 / half-bottle, the selection panel remarked that the wine was "Fine, deep and classy. Chewy and rich. Caramel over berries on the finish".

Notes

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