Why You'll Love It
Dry, textured Chenin with a decidedly savoury streak. Apple fruit meets nutty depth and a saline edge, making this a rewarding bottle for anyone who enjoys the character of flor-aged wines. Give it room in the glass and serve with mushrooms, roast chicken or mature hard cheese.
About The Producer
The Liberator is Richard Kelley MW's South African wine project, releasing small batches that might otherwise go unnoticed. Each has an illustrated episode and its own story. Mudlarking was made at Tierhoek in Piekenierskloof. An unexpected development under flor turned a small parcel of Chenin Blanc into the project's distinctive Episode 44.
