'20% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting 18 months in older French oak. An enticing nose with notes of red currant, cherry, pomegranate and musk. The palate is light-bodied and energetic – pure fruit, fresh acidity and crunchy tannins. This is precisely made, being wonderfully clean and linear.' – Winemag Prescient Top 20 Wines South Africa 2020 Report, 94/100

'Elegance triumphs over muscle in perfumed, subtle 2018, expressing varietal charm with lithe body, vibrant & spicy red fruit, restrained tannin structure. 16 months in mostly older 300L barrels, like 2017 (93 pts), allows fruit to take centre stage.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)

'Cousins, Bruwer Raats and Gavin Slabbert, make this Pinotage like a top Pinot Noir, with evident whole bunch notes, subtle wood and fine textured tannins, wrapped around a core of raspberry and pomegranate fruit. Drink 2021-26.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 93/100

'The 2018 Pinotage Liberté has a sense of airiness on the well-defined nose of blackberry, briar and hawthorn. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a crisp line of acidity and a compelling, granular and mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth – curiously, not that far removed from a Bandol. Drink 2022-2030.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Apr 2021)
