About this Item
Nestled at the foot of the mountain after which it is named, Saronsberg wine estate is a contemporary addition to the rich heritage of Tulbagh valley. A consistent level of excellence since the outstanding 2004 vintage has annually earned Saronsberg a notable collection of awards and accolades, while the unwavering commitment to producing wines of such quality helped Dewaldt Heyns earn membership of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild in late 2007.
Notes
The LIBERI range is a collaboration between food producer, ESKORT (Pty) Ltd and Saronsberg Wine Estate, who produced the mouthwatering Pinotage 2017 Reserve. The exquisite labels have been designed by guest artist Claudette Schreuders and recall a series of prints made by the artist to reflect the everyday life of South African society, searching for an “ African” identity in post – apartheid South Africa. The proceeds of wine sales by ESKORT (Pty) Ltd are donated to a range of charities, focusing on education and cultural upliftment.
“LIBERI 2021. For our Children. For the future of South Africa, a future worth fighting for.”
Generously donated by Nick and Mariette van Huyssteen.
