About this Item

1970 Red halves
6 (1 x 6) 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.

The 1970 is medium-bodied, pure-fruited and elegant, aging into a true South African icon.
